There was a time I'd buy eveything available. I'd purchase three or four albums weekly, back in the days when I had the funds to support my habit. I have to admit that I have spent thousands of dollars over the years, I had more music than I could possible imagine. Lps, 45s, cassettes, 8-tracks, even reel-to-reals, if your old enough to remember. But I'm finding that my collection was realitive small compared to other collectors. However, I recently moved and was forced to dramatically down size. I regreattable had to get rid of 90% of my collection. Now. I have to replenish my collection. Although I don't agree with downloading, It's the cheapness way to go along with buying used cds. The price, whatever it be, physical or online store, is not worth the price, then, if you add shipping to online stores, it even adds to the costs. I've been downloading singles and eventually finishing the album with used cds. In some cases, I downloaded the entire album, for, otherwise, an album that is out of print. And the price Amazon.com wants for a respective out of print cd is ridiculous. I'm not willing to dish out no thirty to a hundred dollars for a cd when I can purchase the download verson on itunes for $9.99.
