Once a month, on vinyl. Because I'm a "hipster douche" as I've been called.

I would buy more vinyl if I weren't paying tuition. Spotify works in the meantime.

Pretty rarely these days. I will occasionally buy vinyl records and I do currently have a premium Spotify membership which costs $9.99 a month.

When I was a teenager I bought CDs all of the time, but those days are long gone. I probably haven't paid for CD in at least six or seven years. I still get free ones sometimes though.

I occasionally pick some used CDs and VCR tapes up at a thrift store for a quarter.

I actually do sometimes buy CDs at Barnes & Noble because when I use one of the 25% off coupons they send me every week, it ends up being the same or less than downloading from Amazon/iTunes.

Never. I attain my music for free.

"... buy music."

Good joke.

I went with "rarely".  It's been a few years.

from about 1981 to about 1999, very regularly.  I have about a million casettes and a million and one CDs (Well, actually maybe 400 each) that I bought during those years.  I also have about 40 records that I bought during the five-year period preceding that.  Any of you old enough to remember records?  However, I think in the past fifteen years I've only bought two, and both were of my son's piano recitals.  

We're trying to buy some now, though, or maybe a movie.  My son got a 15-dollar iTunes gift card from a girl in his class.  It's something of a hassle.  He wanted games, but none of the games work on either of our tablets and none work on any computers (not even apple ones).  You have to have an iPhone or an iPad or an iPod Touch to play those.  The music and movies work, after you download this huge executable file and install it.  Anyway we'll probably spend it on movies or music.  Problem is, all that stuff is free.  Even movies in theaters now.  My son even found a website (of questionable legitimacy) from Slovakia that has free current movies.  And actually there are so many free games available on the "app store" on our tablets that we really don't need the games either.  I kinda wish they'd given him a more useful gift card, like one from Walmart.  Or the all-you-can-eat Indian buffet.  Or even Barnes&Noble.  Anyway, I guess we'll buy some music.  By my calculation, you can buy one new movie, or one old movie and about ten old songs, or one old movie and four new songs, or twenty old songs, with a 15-dollar iTunes gift card.

Rarely.

I try to buy an album a week either from iTunes or the local music store. If I don't I usually stream a sh**tload through Spotify and quite often buy individual songs.
