Many UK kids are keeping to the straight and narrow when downloading music.
Over half pay for music downloads, according to a new study by Q Research. Although 45% pay nothing, almost a third spend up to £5 a month and 3% spend £25 or more a month.
Younger respondents were the heaviest users of free downloads, but plenty of young people are paying for their music: 42% of the respondents paid up to £10 a month, and 9% pay as much as £10-£25 every month.
The majority of those surveyed listen to music on their MP3 players or on their PCs. Some 85% of the respondents already own an MP3 player, with the iPod being by far the most popular device.
