Same, although I haven't spent much more on CDs during that period (which is how I still prefer to spend my music money). That says more about music today than anything.

About $10 a week for the past two years. I have been making up for years of not listening to, buying new music. iTunes has opened lots of doors for me. I almost can't stand to listen to the radio (so many inane commercials, so much music I do NOT like, then unable to find out the name/artist of the song I DO like ... ). So for about 10 years the only way I picked up on new music was through movie soundtracks and, occasionally, friends. With iTunes, I have found so, so many new artists and tunes that I love. It suits me and my style of trying to find new music perfectly! It's more money than I ever would have dreamed of spending on music a few years ago, but it has been worth it. And I do think my rate of spending is going down. But now there are all those tempting aps ... 🙄

Still do the CD thing alot... but I also pick up a few songs here and there from iTunes. I received some gift cert for christmas. Between me and the wife I think we have bought about $400 worth of music. But this is over a several years and some of those costs are for upgrades of songs also.

I've been using the iTunes Store for about six years and I've spent just under $900. I'll usually buy an album ever month or so and lately I've been going a little app happy.

pourquoi is French for "why", and porque is Spanish for "why".
And I am very jealous of your exposure to music that would take you as far as another music store, I feel so musically ignorant being nearly exclusively exposed to American music.

Now that I think about it, I spend around $300 to $400 per year. My Apple TV is more expensive than I realized ... lol 😀

Hmm... interesting question. Probably somewhere between $100 and $250. I'm not really sure. It's all from gift cards though and I can't a fair amount of those every year. My sister buys a large amount more of music from iTunes so I get a lot of it from her, thus why I don't have to buy as much.

I'm guessing it's around $300 CAN.
60%+ of my ITMS purchases are Music Videos. The rest are TV Shows (South Park, Jon & Kate plus Ei8ht). It would be actually more if CRTC/Canada allowed more TV Shows up here. Survivor and The Amazing Race are my most wanted because I can't find the DVD's. Not to mention the rest of the Music Videos that doesn't show up, like EMINEM. There's only three available?!?!
Movies are rare, I have a few but nothing over $9.99 and Music as well because I can't get a decent copy of LimeWire. LOL

Cool I learnt French and Spanish words lol
Yh I watch a lot of foreign films/tv shows so if I hear a song I like I try and find it at one of the iTunes stores I have accounts at (I watch mainly German and Italian films as I well know both languages 🙂 ).

I have probably only spent a couple of hundred dollars since February 2005 when I got my first iPod. Though I have probably gotten another $200 in gift cards from family/friends. Though the majority of my music have been from CDs that I purchased over 6 years when I got my first CD player when I was 9. Not sure how much my money (or my parents money, rather) that I spent on on CDs probably close to $500.

Less than $20. I've purchased a few comedy central specials. I don't buy music or movies from it because I prefer having physical copies. That being said, I've purchased three songs from the store, two for ring tone purposes and one because it was a special edition track not included on a CD I bought.
What method do you use to purchase stuff from foreing countries? I want to purchase a MV from the US iTunes badly (In Holland, there don't sell MV's 🙁)
