Coolfer comes up with another great article about some things to consider when buying music. This is really a must-read. Here's an example:
Understand the Economics of Music. A CD does not cost $1 to make. The manufacturing cost may be around $1, but the costs involved in finding, recording and marketing that music are considerable.

Really. Go read the whole thing now.

"go to the live show and buy a T-shirt."
I couldn't agree with him more. Many bands also say that, I am pretty sure buying a cd at their show generates more profits for them than buying it at a store, plus its cheaper than the stores more often than not.
