How often do you buy music?

[angus]

from about 1981 to about 1999, very regularly.  I have about a million casettes and a million and one CDs (Well, actually maybe 400 each) that I bought during those years.  I also have about 40 records that I bought during the five-year period preceding that.  Any of you old enough to remember records?  However, I think in the past fifteen years I've only bought two, and both were of my son's piano recitals.  

We're trying to buy some now, though, or maybe a movie.  My son got a 15-dollar iTunes gift card from a girl in his class.  It's something of a hassle.  He wanted games, but none of the games work on either of our tablets and none work on any computers (not even apple ones).  You have to have an iPhone or an iPad or an iPod Touch to play those.  The music and movies work, after you download this huge executable file and install it.  Anyway we'll probably spend it on movies or music.  Problem is, all that stuff is free.  Even movies in theaters now.  My son even found a website (of questionable legitimacy) from Slovakia that has free current movies.  And actually there are so many free games available on the "app store" on our tablets that we really don't need the games either.  I kinda wish they'd given him a more useful gift card, like one from Walmart.  Or the all-you-can-eat Indian buffet.  Or even Barnes&Noble.  Anyway, I guess we'll buy some music.  By my calculation, you can buy one new movie, or one old movie and about ten old songs, or one old movie and four new songs, or twenty old songs, with a 15-dollar iTunes gift card.

Rarely.
