I've purchased *many* CD's due to being able to download mp3's and listen to
a CD first...

in the past month I've purchased the following CD because of filesharing:

The Mercury Project (mp3 DL'd from Epitonic last month)
Don Caballero 2nd CD (DL'd mp3 from Epitonic)
    [note: check out www.epitonic.com - they have a great math rock
collection of mp3's]
Webern String Quartets (mp3 via Limewire)
and approx 10 French Troubador/Medieval music CDs I have on hold (also
Limewire)
