On CDs you only get old music or new music by artists trapped in label contracts. My strategy, for now is to trade my CDs (mostly on <a href="http://www.lala.com">lala</a>) until there isn't any more music I need that way, meanwhile gathering new music on mp3 from smart, unemprisoned artists. I expect we'll shift to a "music as service" model where artists will make money by being paid to perform or appear.
