How many albums do you need ?

It's the "quality", not the quantity.

My thinking: you pay 21 dollars to see a movie as a couple, and that is hit and miss on a best day.

With Spotify and iTunes, you can easily preview any album out there before commiting to a purchase. It makes it fail safe.

I really like to keep my collections to a few hundred albums and CDs. With Spotify, I make weekly lists, which I listen to on my PC while I work. I really enjoy CDs in the car over more compressed formats.

subscibe to spotify and problem solved. physical ownership will soon be a thing that is of less importance. i could never purchase all the cds i want so i just rent them now.

Don't ask this question!

I read an article about recording TV shows and there is a reason we never watch what we recorded.

I forget the reason but it is often true for me and I feel the same way about CDs, I already have them so I end up listening to the radio (internet or regular) at home and leave a CD in the car in case there is nothing on the radio.

I always have the thirst for something new and when I hear it on the radio I buy the CD.

A vicious cycle...
