How much do you spend on itunes monthly?

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

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

Use LimeWire.

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