    I'm just in the process of re-building and filling gaps in my collection...between beatport, record stores and various other sites, I am probably between £100-150/month, sometimes less, but rarely more...

    Probably going to join something like CDPOOL this month too. Unless someone can advise otherwise!

    I've always collected music so I don't mind the expense

    i've spent so much money on music it's kind of preposterous, i don't even want to say the amounts with vinyl and cds. i calmed down quite a bit when i started buying digitally, putting maybe around $50-100 a month on average.

    currently i spend almost no money on buying music, outside of an occasional release i really want. i have so much stuff from the past and there are a lot of great artists/labels putting out free tracks so i just dig for those. though if a person is cool and puts up a good amount of high quality releases for free, i will usually donate some money to them for being so awesome.

    Probably about 40-50 euro a month. Ive only recently gotten into trance and now moving into techno and got a lot of Complilations, (for example in search of sunrise etc) which were very good value for money. Now im starting to just get individual tunes but i have to say I find Beatport to be very expensive. 7 Digital and even itunes normally sell for about 1 euro a track but Beatport is at least 1 50 a track and sometimes 2 50, which i think is scandalous. i know the argument will be that the music is more up to date, but I still think its a bit of a rip off. Plus even buying a full release the overall price usually is not far off just adding up the price of the individual tracks.

    I don't play gigs any more, so it varies a lot. 99% of the stuff I buy is physical formats as I don't like spending money on digital downloads unless that's the only way to get a particular track. In the last year, there were a couple of weeks where I spent over £500, lots of weeks where I bought nothing, and lots of weeks where I spent between £10 and £50.

    How does emusic works regarding legality of mixing them live? Do they give you a paper which says you're entitled to those tracks? Here in Portugal we have to go to the gigs with all evidences that we bought that specific track.

    This question applies to other services that are subscription based.

    I'm starting to build my tracklist and since it's a big thing around here, I have to be careful.

    A lot more since the beatport discount code thread opened up. Probably the equivalent of a cd a week now.
