i spend about $100+/month on subscriptions and itunes, amazon, etc.... nothing compared to what i was spending on vinyl before however... an unorchestrated purchase spree can easily set me back $300/spree ... ouch.

Subscription services for the most part works for me.
I used Promo Only and Ultimix/Funkymix for years... Depends on your genre you want to build up.
Promo Only I got was the top radio hits, and cost around $150 a year I believe
Ultimix and Funkymix were more though, $25/month for some fairly mediocre remixes of songs... I do have some gems from those too though.
I'm waiting for the streaming/caching songs thing to take off, I guess time will tell
This works for me;
I try to include my music expense into my everyday life. In otherwords, I treat my music expense just as I would if I pack a lunch, or buy a lunch for the work day. For example, my coffee taste is sat aside each morning. I know that I have to have a cup of coffee each day, whether Dunkin Donuts coffee or Mickey D's coffee, etc. That is usually going to cost at-least $1.50 to $2.50 a day. So then, I treat my music purchases like I'm having a donut with my coffee. So instead of coffee and a donut, or coffee and a breakfast snack, I have coffee and a music downloadTherefore I average between $.99 to $2.00 a day on music, via itunes, amazon, and beatport. For the rest, (the free stuff), I find quality CD's from friends, family etc.
With this formula I have managed to collect and impression array of music![]()

Almost exclusively Beatport. Buy new tunes every 2 weeks or so, usually spending $20-25 at a time. I'd buy stuff more often, but poor college student and all... my hold bin is like 85 tracks deep though atm. D:
edit: wrong thread, ignore this!
