Where do bluegrass fans buy their music?

John and I have been giving a lot of thought to the news that iTunes had seized the number two music retailer spot. We’re wondering how the bluegrass community compares to the broader music industry.

We’re in the process of doing some research and will be sharing our results with our readers soon. I thought we’d go ahead and do a little informal research right here on The Bluegrass Blog.

To that end I’ve put together this little poll so we can see where we’re all buying our music. Go ahead and participate, no registration is required. The poll will reload right in place without the need for a page reload.

    Following the results of yesterday's poll, as well as several comments submitted via email, have lead me to the following conclusions.
