With a short, online message saying "This one's on me," performer and music producer Trent Reznor posted the latest Nine Inch Nails album for free downloading via the band's website on Monday.
Reznor has posted The Slip's 10 tracks in a variety of audio formats accompanied by files containing the album's artwork and credits — available for no cost "as a thank you to our fans for your continued support," according to a message on the NIN website.
The posting also urged fans to spread and share the album however they'd like.
Music and how we listen to it has come along way over a short time. What was the first album you remember buying and what format was it in?

Trent has the right idea with where the music industry should be heading. The easier you make it for the fans/world to hear/see your music/art, the more known and the bigger mark you leave on the history line..... just look at the Beatles, DaVinci, etc.
I'm currently listening to NIN's new and free album now, and it's actually pretty good. Thanks Trent.
The first album I bought myself was Slayer - Divine Intervention off a friend in school....
The first album I actually bought 1st hand and full price for was The Tea Party - Transmission.
Quoting CBC News
Yeah, thanks because he raked in a smooth couple of million from releasing Ghosts I - IV direct from his web site, by passing the normal record label routine and making it cheaper and more flexible for the fan to do as they please with the music. Ghosts I-IV were all (36 songs in total) instrumental tracks which ranged in price between Free - $5 up to $300 depending on the package you decided to buy.... and distribution of the songs were permitted so long as credit was given where credit is due.

First Album I bought was Rob Base & Dj Ez Rock on tape. I didn't buy it, my parents did, but that was the first one I owned.... I thought I was getting Will Smith's album but I'm bad with names. (That and I was somewhere around 9 years old) Music and how we listen to it has come along way over a short time. What was the first album you remember buying and what format was it in?

the first LP I remember actually buying myself I THINK was Lynyrd Skynyrd "pronounced leh 'nerd 'skin'nerd"
If not it was Hendrix or Uriah Heep
First CD I ever bought was "Louder Than Hell" by MANOWAR in 96 I think
Most recent CD would be "rainbow onstage" which rocks nutz too, dio and blackmore together were dangerous
