Where do you guys get all your music?

[Drewbdo]

So on average how much do you spend on music, say per year?

I'm a mobile DJ, and as the others have mentioned, your music requirements vary, based on the type of work you do.

$10/month for VDJ Grooveshark for stuff I'll only ever play once - better than buying crappy special requests for a wedding, which will never see the light of day again after that wedding. Also good for walk-up special requests at the event - Great-Grandma Ethel Sue Ellen's first waltz, etc. As long as you have internet access at the event, you have access to "15 million" songs, or whatever it is Grooveshark claims. I think you must have a legal version of VDJ though, although they may sell subscriptions without VDJ... Not positive.

~350/year (IIRC) for annual subscription to ZipDJ.com - GREAT selection of music from many genres (dance, club, Top 40, country, adult contemporary, Latin, house, trance, rock, and more). Unlimited downloads. The popular dance songs usually have remixes available, and they have some DJ tools (like instrumentals and acapellas, so you can make your own mashups).

A few dollars here and there buying compilations.

A few more dollars buying old CD's or vinyl at garage sales or Goodwill.

So, less than $1000/year, but your mileage may vary.

I'm a member of 2 DJ pools for audio
I'm also a member of 2 Video DJ pools.
I use Beatport and Crooklyn clan to get tracks I can't find in the pools I belong to.
Sometimes I will download some remixed stuff from Soundcloud.

I really like beatport and audio jelly for my tracks. I have also started finding more tracks by going to artist's home pages, and using their donate option. I really like this option, and I hope more producers start using it. I would prefer to give the artist money, as opposed to paying off his label who in turn gives the artist a fraction of what I paid.

Depending on the label it's either 50/50, or 70/30 or something similar either way around. This is about small EDM labels, the big ones have special deals where you get much less.
