digital music - greener than a cd
I've been purchasing music digitally for a few years now, loving the convenience of getting a track then and there and being able to choose only the tracks you like from a whole album. I haven't bought a CD of electronic music for about two years now, although I still sometimes buy CDs of other styles of music.
A further great reason for digital rating highly on my list is the reduction of environmental impact and emissions. I remember someone saying to me at one point that it was just as bad, that the electricity used in computers used to purchase, hosting of the files and the internet services related to the delivery used just as much - a complete load of rubbish in my opinion. And it turns out digital is, unsurprisingly, far better environmentally than CD production and sales.
Microsoft have funded a study into the environmental difference between the two. The results are interesting, but unsurprisingly digital comes out in front.

Digital is the way of the future, and certainly a large percentage of the way of now. If you're not already buying music digitally I urge you to give it a try.
