How many cds you buy on a set period?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Maybe the math is not there, maybe you can say "well, if I buy 1-5 albums a week it's the same as 10-20 a month".... yes, i know, but usually people allow their budgets to go just so far and set time lines and periods of expenditure (?!?). So, whatever, no Keynes or Friedman here, just vote please. if you may. if you april. If you july ...

I buy about 1-5 albums bi-weekly. That's like 10 albums a month. that's like 120 albums a year. Like 1200 a decade. I don't know. sometimes I buy like 30 albums in one month and then sometimes just a couple. So, any comments?

	1-5 a month.Actually I didn't purchase any CD's in January (recovering from Xmas!) but have just ordered a couple of Tangerine Dream albums at a reasonable price.I don't plan on spending more than £200 on CD's and music DVD's this year.Might be quite hard though.In the past I have spent over £500 in one year but nowadays I just can't afford it.

	I buy 1-5 a month. I wish I could buy more, as my list is always growing. At this rate, it will take two or more years before I have everything on it, Christmas and birthdays included.

	I try to buy 5 every two months. I listen to them and then enter them into my regular rotation with the rule that only one listen per CD until my entire collection has been listened to and we start all over again.

	5-10 a month. I often buy more tho, i wish i didn't. You could say i'm addicted to buying cds. I spend almost every cent i get on prog albums. Unlike a few other people that i know that are like that tho, i listen to all the cds i buy many times

	1-5 a month. I just simply cant afford to go over that without a job.

	1 in every two months. But I am borrowing a lot. And returning rarely.
	Percussion, sir!

	5-10 a month. I'm in a massive amount of debt from college, so I shouldn't be buying anywhere near that, but in a very literal way I'm addicted to hearing new music. Edited by enteredwinter - February 10 2007 at 18:51

	Last year I would have said 1-5 a month, some months more, some less, but I've had the money to buy 1 album this year and I've been broke since.
	Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

	1-5 a month. I wish I could buy more, but my financial situation doesn't allow it at the moment. Luckily, Finland has an excellent library system where I can get pretty much anything I want (as long as it's not some ultra obscure prog act). Edited by Jimbo - February 10 2007 at 19:39

	Well I've purchased 12 so far this year, but that includes CDs I bought with vouchers at Xmas. Blackfield II should arrive in the post Monday morning...

	About 3-7 a month, I would say.

	1-5 albums a month. If this included albums burnt by friends, or concerts I've downloaded off of Internet Archive, the number would be higher. This month will be particularly busy for me, though... Explosions In The Sky Do Make Say Think Of Montreal Menomena Clap Your Hands Say Yeah I doubt I'll be able to buy all of those by month's end, but a kid can hope!

	Do you mean CDs only or albums in general? I buy 1-5 CDs each month, plus 5-10 albums that I download from eMusic.com.
	Recently listened to:

	I try to buy a lot of albums, but I don't want to buy so much I haven't got any money at all, so I'm stuck at 3 albums every month.
