How much do you spend on itunes monthly?

[macEfan]

How much total do you spend on average on itunes purchases every month?

Lets see who the top spenders are...

I usually only spend around $6 a month :D, thats nothing compaired to most people..

[jsw]

My average monthly spending there is probably under US$5.

[x86]

That's easy, US $0. The DRM prevents me from burning MP3 disks for my car. I know their are ways to remove the DRM, but it’s just too much of a hassle.

[celebrian23]

$0. I prefer having an actual hard CD copy. Only on the incredibly rare case where I just want one song.

[Mr_Brightside_@]

$0, for the same reason. macEfan, i guess you are winning, big spender

[dmw007]

Probably around $5-$10 a month- although this number tends to vary (higher when I am at college and lower when I am not).

[NicP]

$0, like the others, because of the drm :(

[luckylisp]

$0. I prefer having an actual hard CD copy. Only on the incredibly rare case where I just want one song.

Same here.

[macEfan]

hahha wow, I guess I don't spend outragiously low amounts :D

[mark!]

About $20, because of TV shows and some little singles.

[WildCowboy]

Probably about $1/month on average...I pretty much only buy if there's some iTMS-only tracks I'm after.

Depends on how many songs I want. ;)

Usually $1 to $5 average.

[treblah]

Really depends but it is not consistent for sure.

But I figure 270 paid for tracks/~38 months of the store being open = a little over 7 a month.

It's really like $0 for 2 months and then $20 if something good comes along.

[eXan]

None.

[Henri Gaudier]

Bring back vinyl! Oh the good old days .....sniff.

[cycocelica]

I rarely buy from the iTunes store. Ill spend around $2 every two months or so.

[1rottenapple]

$0.00.

[Piarco]

Anything from one single £0.79 to around £25 for a couple videos and an album.
I vary my music purchases from pure iTunes to a iTunes/CD mix, depending how lazy I am! Its just so easy to click "purchase this song/album". There was a couple of month were I bought CD's but they are already gathering dust.
I think I'll be sticking to a mixed media model TBH...

[liketom]

some months i spend £40-70 depending if im downloading audio books

on a poor month - £10-20

[Roy Hobbs]

Can't burn a disc to play in your car??? Sure you can I do it all the time.
If I am not mistaken the only stipulation is you can only burn the same playlist 5 times, or something like that.

But you can def. burn purchased music to CD

GO TIGERS!

[iGary]

~$10

[DeSnousa]

I mainly just grab the free single of the week :D

But on average I probably do about $5-10 AUS.

[Lau]

Zero. I'm all about the hard copy, baby.

[Caitlyn]

About $12 a month unless I have some kind of gift certificate. :D

[Core Trio]

for me it really just depends on how many cd's i want that come out that month, the 9.99 price tag is hard to pass up with the cost of some cds (even the more obscure artists). If the iTunes version of the album has exclusive tracks and a digital booklet, theres no contest.

EDIT: But to actually answer the question probably average of 15-20 dollars a month and at most 30

[dextertangocci]

About $100 - $150, because everytime I want a song or tv show, I have to open a new paypal account with a South African credit card, and a phone number and address from a friend in the USA, and then after I have purchased a song or tv show, I have to quickly close the paypal account because it tells me that there has been a problem with the last payment, and my zip code doesn't match my credit card, and that my account will be suspended if I don't fix it:mad: :mad: :mad:

BTW, it costs $2 every time I open the account, plus $1 a song or $2 a tv show... At least I am purchasing them legally.

[supremedesigner]

None. Nope. Nada. Zip.

Why? No closed caption supported yet.

Still waitin' for bigger screen movies / TV shows coming to iTunes and hopefully will have closed caption/subtitles! :mad:

[Tanglewood]

I mainly just grab the free single of the week :D


Same here other than that it's probably $5-10 US though now that they added videos it's slowly creeping up. Damn you South Park!

[AvSRoCkCO1067]

Damn...I never really thought about it!

I guess I spend about 30-40 bucks a month on iTunes, with the 30-40 dollars split fairly evenly between television shows and music.

Before iTunes, though, I had a 45-dollar per month bill; Sirius, Napster Unlimited, and Audible accounts :eek:

[w00master]

$0 for me. I only buy through non-DRM means either physical CDs, emusic, etc.

w00master

[ehayut]

I'd say average $2
I still buy hard copies mostly, but am slowly moving to digital copies for environmental reasons (less plastic/waste, less energy put into production...)

That's so considerate of you:)

[count chocula]

it depends on if the office is in season or not. i buy every episode, and something random now or then. i dont really have a number to give, because it really depends.

[xyian]

$0 US - DRM is crap. I'd rather own the disc and notes.

[Viking Quest]

Probably around $30. I usally buy one song or two a day.

[zelmo]

I only listen to music in my truck or at work, so having liner notes is mostly useless to me.
My 44 year-old ears are shot, so 128 kbps is 'good enough' quality-wise.
I don't have room for a ton of CD's in the townhouse.
DRM doesn't bother me much.

I'm like the ideal iTMS customer, except I don't spend enough.:p I will buy anywhere from $0 to $50 in a given month, depending on what is out and how much free cash I have.

I have $300 worth of music in my shopping cart right now. It'll take me a year or more to get it all, and by then there'll be $100's more.

[j26]

I bought 2 songs, and then noticed the drm, so I won't be buying more until I cam play them in my phone (or I get an iPod).

[CanadaRAM]

DRM doesn't bother me at all -- its what I am bargaining for after all. I burn safety copies to CD-R (thus paying my $0.21 Canadian Recording levy as well)

I like the ability to get the album or song when inspiration strikes, or when I read a review, etc. Also in Canada, we're looking at CAN$9.99 for an album iTMS, vs. $18 -$21 for a CD, unless they are older CDs on clearance.

Also I cant be arsed to drive downtown, park, and shove through the crowds in the music store to find out they're out of stock on the one thing I came for.

Edit-- answer - about $20 per month.

[n8236]

The last time i BOUGHT music was back in early high school ('96), eversince then, i've been blessed w/ the internet.

[Tymmz]

€$£0

If I buy music it's always a "real" CD.

[imacintel]

Use LimeWire. (http://www.limewire.com)

Your situation is so bad, you might as well pirate.

[celebrian23]

i spent $45 in June because two people got me itunes cards for my birthday so I just bought a bunch of singles. I felt rude not using them since they were given as gifts and I didn't really have anyone to give them to.
