How many albums do you need ?

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...

There will always be new artists and new music. Since we're in it for the music, there will never be an 'end'. It's like asking an avid reader how many books are enough. Having said that, since I discovered Folkalley.com I find myself wanting/needing fewer cd's.
