The best way of building up a music collection is downloading music from the Internet

In 2001 Apple launched iTunes, which enabled people to legally download songs from the Internet. Almost overnight the music industry had changed unrecognisably. Since then the issue of the best way of building up a music collection has been discussed by music lovers the world over. aSo what is the best way of building up a music collection?

In my opinion, the benefits of downloaded music seem obvious enough. To begin with, an MP3 player can hold hundreds of songs which can be carried around with you wherever you go. 1However/Although/Moreover, you can choose exactly which songs you want and do not have to pay for album tracks that you used to have to skip. To quote music fan Chris Davies, of Leytonstone, bCDs have about ten tracks on them and at least two are usually terrible. That's twenty percent of my money wasted every time I buy a CD.' 2In addition/Nevertheless/Therefore, it is so much easier to buy online than to visit your nearest CD shop. cAccording to the Walmart music downloads information page, one song 'takes under a minute' to download with a broadband connection and only fifteen to twenty minutes without.

There exists, 3however/despite/besides, a different opinion. Many people think that it is much more preferable to buy music on CD or even, on old fashioned vinyl. dIn fact, they believe that many albums ewere made to be listened to as a whole thing, not as a collection of individual tracks. 4Despite/Besides/However, they enjoy the process of looking through racks of records, they find it fwonderful to look at the colourful sleeves and bizarre names of bands you have never heard of.

I cannot agree with this viewpoint. If you decide to build up a collection of music on CDs, you may have to spend too much time searching for what you like and need - it may not be easy to find a limited edition album or a song released decades ago.

I would like to conclude by saying that, if you want to build a collection of music getting CDs you like and need may take too much of your time and money. 5Even though/All in all/According to/Even though, the advantages of downloading music are obvious. gMy belief is that it is safe, it is legal, it is less expensive and you can build a collection of your favourite music rather quickly.
