CD Buying Habits -- Survey and S:
| 
Jul 20 12:47 UTC 2000 |
After visiting Ken at his house (CD heaven!), I got to thinking about
people's buying habits and what kinds of patterns there are for music-buying.
So. I thought a discussion/survey might be fun.
1. How many cds do you buy a year? How many have you bought this year?
2. Where do you buy CDs? At WalMart/Best Buy/MediaPlay? At the local specialty
stores? Over the Internet? At concerts? Or somewhere else?
3. Do you tend to buy one at a time or several at once? Do you ever suffer
from the problem of too many CDs, not enough time?
4. Do you buy CDs based on listening to the group, rave reviews, or just
because you saw the cover and liked it? I mean how much of a flyer do you take
on CD buying?
My answers follow.
1. Usually two or three a month. This year, I've bought 15, or so.
2. I normally buy them at Borders, now that Schoolkids is gone. But I do order
over the internet, from Muskifolk in England, and very occasionally from small
specialty stores.
3. When I do buy CDs, I tend to buy three or so at a time.
4. Most of the time, I have to already know the group, or at least have had
one recommendation by a trusted source to buy anything. Of course, there are
those people whom are on my glom list (buy whatever they output asap, no
questions asked), and I occasionally take a flyer on a group if the songs are
titled interestingly or something else catches my attention.

I used to buy more, but I've been on a book-buying spree lately.
I tend to buy them at used cd stores and purchase maybe one or two per month.
I've only bought three cds this year. I also buy new releases by my favorite
bands, usually at Best Buy since they throw them on sale right away. When I'm
not in book-buying mode, I buy about four or five cds per month (still at used
cd stores).
My friend, Danny (sekari), recommends many good cds to me, so it's hard to keep
up. Every one he recommends is one that I fall in love with, so I need more
money. (He recommends three or four per week). =)
