I had some free downloads at the iTunes store so I’ve been trying to figure out what songs to buy. I could either get the songs that I dig now, but haven’t bought on CD yet, or some classics (i.e. songs from a few years back that I dug) that I don’t have yet. I think that I would be happier getting the songs I like now because they’re fresh and new, but I may end up buying them on CD in the future and wasting my downloads.
The same could be said for the “classics”, I could find them in the bargain bin; so I’m now looking through my MP3 collection to see what singles I would probably never get on CD and downloading those, which perhaps may be the point of singles.
