I’m really out of the new music scene, and haven’t bought new music for over 20 years. I never get tired of what is in my collection. I do like live music.

but with digital, who buys music anymore?

“but with digital, who buys music anymore? “

Same here, I have all that I need in this life. As to the Labels, my beef with them was paying $5 for a 25 cent cassette, only to have to replace it 5 times because it was a piece of crap. I could get the $5 part, once, but not multiple times.

So when Napster came, and the Russian site, I was set for life...and got my revenge.

I'm finding CDs for 25 cents now. They may even include a DVD. That allows me to expand into things I may have turned down in the past. Still out there huntin'.

I haven't bought music in over a decade but I do spend $10/mo to stream it. It's actually an excellent deal as I can discover new music as well as listen to my old favorites - all on demand.

When I was buying music, I'd average 3-5 CDs per month. Probably averaged about $50 a month in compact discs. So the streaming fee is a real bargain as you have unlimited access to the entire catalog.
