Questionnaire / Survey
About this survey:
It is the purpose of this survey to reveal relations between internet-users attitude towards, and use of,
digital music formats
The result of this survey, will be used in the development of my final project, 2002 - Aarhus school of Architecture
The purpose with this survey is not to reveal causes
for existing problems, but it is to find documentation for
the development of a solution.
Thanks in advance for your participation in this survey.
