Netaudio survey: How does the Internet influence your music habits?

The Netaudio festival (an offline festival for online music) are calling out for participants in a short survey about the effect of the internet on how people make and listen to music. It should take about 10-15 minutes of your time and has some prizes up for grabs to those who complete it, including a copy of our very own The Wire Primers, a Last FM membership subscription, a copy of Nicolas Collins's Handmade Electronic Music: The Art of Hardware hacking and a copy of Steve Goodman's (aka Kode9) Sonic Warfare: Sound, effect and the ecology of fear amongst other goodies.
