T3h Online Survey
After those sleepless and uneasy nights thinking about how on Earth I should face the jury at thesis defense later on with my oh-so-qualitative thesis (while I'm being paranoid about oh-so-quantitative juror appearing at my thesis defense), I decided to get myself a cup of Java and online survey. Pretty late I know, but rather than nothing at all -- and I also want to know the opinions from the users themselvs in percentage (%).
So, since my Posterous here helps me big time in tracking my thesis progress (also as my place of 2 cents. Many many 2 cents) I'm putting the temporary result of the online survey.
Number of respondents: Until this post is published, the number is 74.
71.62% of respondents are male.
Most of the respondents are from Generation X and Y (young adults) with 74.32% from total respondents.
48.65% from the respondents are spending >12 hours going online.
48.65% of the respondents spending their time mainly at microblogging services followed by 20.27% spending their time by checking e-mails.
95.95% of the respondents answered 'Hell Yes' when being asked "have you ever downloaded MP3 at the Net?"
Here in Indonesia, a song that being sold at online music store is being priced at 5000 IDR (US$ 0.5) and 52.7% of the respondents said that the price is acceptable.
Accessibility is the main factor about downloading music at the Net. When being asked, "if in one event you could download a song from online music store, what would be the reason?" 31.08% of respondents said that it would be the accessibility. They don't have to go outside to brick-and-mortar music store to buy the whole CD and 28.38% of the respondents said that it's about taste and ability to choose. They could choose songs that they like rather than buying the whole CD and listening to songs that they think so-so.
What is the reason of you for NOT downloading MP3 freely over the Net? 51.35% of the respondents said that the song is unavailable. 40.54% of respondents said that the quality is bad.
What is the reason of you for NOT downloading MP3 at online music store? LOL. As expected, 54.05% of the respondents asked back, "if I could get the stuffs freely over the Internet, why should I buy it?" While 33.78% of respondents pointed at the unavailability of micro-payment. At least for now.
Therefore, as the final question: "Are you positive that the concept of online music store is applicable in Indonesia?" 55.41% of respondents are being 'quite' optimistic by saying "Yes. For the next 10 years."
