BP 24 Wk2-1 DB Quickie: CD Ownership, Music Sharing or Spontaneous Listening

Briefly share how you use music in your personal life: are you a CD collector, someone who gets their music off the Internet through friends or Peer-to-Peer networks or do you have a music subscription where you can listen to whatever music you feel like listening to at the moment? Or are you some combination of the above?

I have become a combination of the stated ways of enjoying music, as I have always liked collecting the hardback version of my music just like I still love an actual book. Music is a medium that acts as a language to translate what the heart and mind are thinking and feeling on the deepest, most honest level. I enjoy music for this very fact as I can always find a song to be my words.

I have hundred’s of CD’s, still have tapes and albums as well. Music goes with me everywhere, even in my classroom. The kids become accustomed to background music unlike what the normally listen to.
I have downloaded music from free and paid music sites, as well as have online subscriptions such as Pandora, AOL music radio and XM Siirus radio. I like them all, although for ease and versatility without the financial commit, although there is still something about an actual CD….
