As far as I know, most of us download music as well as buy albums.
I'm just wondering how many albums you typically buy in a month.
I download a shitload, but buy 2-3 albums a month(more when I have money).

i'll usually download about 5 songs per week and buy about 4 cds on a monthly basis, the downloading is mostly to sample the songs, see if i like them.

Somewhere around 2-4 a month. I usually get more right after the holidays with a combination of my birthday money, christmas money, christmas returns, and free time.

i only buy the bands that i really really like so maybe like 2 a year, when they come out with new ones. In months that would be .167 cd's a month.
I bought the new Cryptopsy album last week. Before that, I haven't got a CD from a store in months.

Loads. I normally average about 3 a week. And yeah, I've listened to them all at least once.
Fuck downloading - the quality of music you get is occasionally shite, plus there's a load of restrictions etc. And in the UK it's a fucking rip off - we pay 50/60% more per track than you do in the USA, and about 30% more than the rest of the EU. It's actually cheaper for me to buy a CD.

damn.. i thought i was a horrible spender when it comes to wasting money on music.. turns out im about average on this forum.
3 a week. which is actually very hard for me to limit myself to a lot of the time. it originally started out as 1 a week but that didn't last long.

Probably about 4 or 5 CDs a week. I've bought 5 since Saturday...
Yeah, I'm a compulsive buyer when it comes to music.

i make one trip to best buy a week. it's my treat for working 40+ hours a week on top of going to high school part time... i no longer have "weekends" so instead i look forward to payday. most of it goes to the bank, $45 of it goes to best buy.

I rarely, if ever buy CDs.
I think the last one I ever bought was Flogging Molly, before they were too popular.

1 or 2 a year.
I don't download.
I don't care for the current music being made now, unless it's made by older bands or maybe a soundtrack that is really cool.
Okay...So, I'm an oldie. But, I'm a goodie. lol

maybe 1 every 3 months. Music should be free. After all, it's just fucking "music". LOL

Its not JUST music, its how people make their livings. Maybe you just didn't know why back then Napster was shut down, those artists lost millions of dollars because of that.

I think thats why this shitty music is out now-a-days because it is marketed towards younger people who may not fully comprehend downloading music.
Also, how would you like to see your farorite artist a bum?

Finding a shop in the UK that sells decent music is hard to come by. Amazon is only slightly better than buying from an actual shop.

I duno why but i find that i like the cd more if i buy it instead of d/l or burning it. I buy once a month.

I generally download albums which seem intresting, and if I like the album enough, I'll go out and buy it. I know it seems pointless, but I always feel if the album is good enough, they deserve my money :)
About buying CD's... I don't know. 2-4 per month I would say.

i burn all of my cds,but there not the actual ones. such as the Nekromantix cd Dead Girls Don't Cry,when i wanted that cd i went burned it but all of the songs on one cd(theirs only 13 songs on all of their cds) i burned all the songs and some more from Nekro. So its not copyright its a modification of it.
