Downloading.

Downloading

1; I would rather download than buy the physical copy as it is quicker, as to buy the physical copy you must wait or leave the house. Also, it may sometimes be cheaper, as there may be deals only available by download. Additionally, having a hard copy could mean that the CD could get scratched and may no longer be playable, whereas downloading an album would be safer as it can not get scratched as it is instantly safely stored in your computer.

2; Problems you could encounter from downloading could be that it would take a long time, as a strong, fast internet connection is required to download properly. Also, you may encounter viruses when downloading from ‘dodgy’ sites. Lastly, you may end up losing all of your data on your computer, meaning losing those downloaded albums, whereas if you’d have bought the CD you wouldn’t have had this problem.

3; Downloading fulfils it’s purpose as it is quick and easy to acquire. It is quick as you just pay online and the ‘album’ may be available to you instantly. Also it is easy as you just have to purchase online, instead of browsing through a store.
