I'd buy a CD for $5-10. Then I wouldn't have to spend ages trying to download 10-14 tracks with a 56k modem. CD prices have gone up cause the record labels are trying to push horrible bands off on the unsuspecting public. I sincerely believe this is how punk became popular. Sure, people will still download music even if the CDs dropped down to $7 a piece, but more people would buy them, since they wouldn't feel like they wasted a ton of money if they didn't like it.

And also, you download a few songs to see if you like the band, and by the time you're finished, it makes more sense to download the rest of the album than to go out and spend $15 for a few songs you haven't heard yet. That's how I got started on Creed. I would've gone out and spent $7 for a few new songs, and a proffesional CD and jacket, but not $15. That's just ridiculous.
