I haven't purchased a CD in 6 years, and have no plans to.
the closest thing to paying for music I do is XM Radio.
I don't have gigs upon gigs of music though.. I think I may have 20 songs on my PC total right now..
I usually just look at station's play lists and download whatever songs i like, or if I hear something on XM or the radio I like, Ill DL it..
its wrong, i know it, I dont try and defend it..
but im not going to drop whats = to a month of AH for a CD containing only 2 or 3 songs I actually like..
and of course, if you buy a CD or even put songs you like on a CD, immediately every radio station will start playing them, and run them into the ground for you..
