cherydactylSo I'm a little late. So sue me.
1. Do you download music not from the popular genres of Top 40, pop, rock, rap, dance, R&B, or country?
When I have downloaded stuff, it has definitely been off the beaten track, so, yes.
2. Are there any musicians for whom you've downloaded a significant amount of their material yet own few or none of their albums?
Only one: Steve Burns. I have downloaded his debut album and very much enjoy it. I intend to buy it, and his forthcoming second album, but I haven't gotten around to it.
3. Have you ever enjoyed a downloaded album so much that you went and bought the physical album?
Yes.
4. How many different ways of playing music do you own (such as radio, stereo system, computer, Walkman/Discman, mp3 player, mp3-ready phone, etc.)?
Hm. It's not clear if this means different methods or different devices, but anyway, MP3 player/radio, PDA/phone, boom box, clock radio, kitchen under-cabinet radio/CD player, an old Discman, computer, car radio, van radio/CD/tape player, and my tv/dvd combo (technically, I can put a CD in there and play it, I'm pretty sure--I have never actually used it this way). So, lots. I am sure this is true for most people.
5. Do you still have and/or play a favorite vinyl album, cassette tape, or 8-track tape?
I still have some of our vinyl records. One of these days I may even try to transfer the rare things, but for now they are just being stored. One that I miss listening to is the Middlebury College a capella group album I have, the (Something-or-Other)-Eight. I wish I could remember. They performed at my high school. I was so enthralled that I bought their album on the spot. It includes a version of the Powdermilk Biscuit Theme (and I didn't know what Prairie Home Companion was until *years* later), a great version of Love Potion No. 9, and Blue Moon actually done as a ballad, well, for about two thirds of it anyway. I just love that album. I can hear that version of Love Potion No. 9 in my head right now.
