How should I buy this EP?

[Gabble Ratchet]

Right now I'm in a pickle. I've found a debut EP from awesome Australian band Stonefield, but there's only two ways to buy it. In it's physical form it's available in two different places for $10 and $15 respectively, a hell of a lot of money for an EP. The other option is an mp3 download site where it's selling for 68 cents. The problem with the download site though, is that payments have to be made in installments minimum of $30, and after having a quick browse around I'm unsure if I'll be able to find enough music for $30 considering each album averages $1 each. On the plus side, the "account" doesn't expire, so the money will always be available, but I'm still unsure as to which option is the wisest for my money. Advice would be appreciated!

I personally would get the physical copy unless I could see further use from the website, maybe several other bands that I want

Well, you'll get FAR more bang for your buck downloading it from that site. 68 cents per song vs $3 per song. You be the judge.

well thats very true Lynch but its going to be a bit difficult to find 30 albums/song (however they work things) if there were plenty of stuff there that he wanted.
Otherwise, Sal would be better off with the mp3 site.

I'm sussing it out right now, looking at new releases. So far I'm 7 pages (of 34) in and have found 3 albums I want.

You're probably best off browsing for a few days, and once you have a comprehensive list of everything that's caught your attention, then make your decision.

Physicals always better! If you like the group and the EP is rare enough then $15 is nothing IMO!

Agreed

 

[Gabble Ratchet]

It isn't rare, it's just little heard of. But since I've found a fair bit of new music already from this site I think I may be leaning towards the download option. I'll still wait a couple of days before I decide though!

^^No surprise where I stand on this one, if I wanted the EP bad enough I would buy the physical copy that is always the best quality and will last a lifetime.

DL's,,,I will not pay for a lossy download sorry I just want better quality than that Sal.
