just download albums with filesharing programs (i recommend direct connect from
www.neo-modus.com) and listen away. top quality, full songs. then you can either burn them or go out and buy the cd, up to you.
personally i think my influence has mostly come from a good friend who has a tendency to write gigantic lists of music he wants to download from the net.....he has a modem connection so it tends to build up and in the end, i download like 100 songs for him on my DSL
then i get inspired and sometimes get really into a band and find out i like all their stuff. funny how it happens, really.
