Just a question for some of you expert web streamers (Like Russ)

Are you guys actually buying all your music? Or are labels sending them to you?

we buy everything... a lot of the mainstream labels send stuff in... not much from dance labels.. so we buy all the music from 3 sources on the net (legal internet download sites.. not napster or itunes, but a few others).

As for downloading off p2p's... its not worth it because the quality of the files are very poor quality.. its not even worth it... plus it takes too damn long... so its best to support the music and artists buy buying the downloads.<P ID="signature">______________

It's a little of both for us.

The labels send in all of the current country and Southern Gospel
music.

The classic country music we have came from my personal collection, and
the remainder was donated by a radio colleague..it was a big collection from
a licensed station that was sold and changed format.<P ID="signature">______________

That's insane. You guys must be spending a lot of money!! What about signing up for promoonly, or CMJ. If you sign up as a station on CMJ, a lot of labels will start sending you music. Plus, you will get a monthly CD full of new music. Just a thought.
