Buying music also supports your favorite artists and encourages them to make more of the stuff you love!

Buying Music Online

When you decide to buy music online you have several options available. First are the ever-popular song stores such as iTunes, Napster and even a Wal-Mart online music service. These websites offer a large library of songs for either a low monthly fee or a per-song charge. Monthly fee sites charge around $10 per month for unlimited song downloads, while per-song sites charge approximately 99 cents per song. Either way, you'll save a lot of money.

If digital tunes aren't your thing, you can still purchase CDs on the internet. Websites such as Amazon and CDBaby offer tons of new and used CDs in a browseable online catalog. Just search, click and buy. You can also get personalized recommendations and can read user-reviews of albums and bands.

Buying Music Offline

Even if you prefer buying your music at a brick and mortar store, technology allows you more control and options on your purchases. Larger music stores often have special kiosks where you can scan your CD and listen to sample tracks. Get a good idea of the album you want to buy, then just take it home and start listening!

Used CD stores are also a great resource for buying music. Customers can often sell or trade their used CDs for cash or store credit. The selection at even the smallest used CD stores will include many independent artists and other lesser-known names right alongside Britney Spears and other big names. Prices will vary, but you'll save a lot of money and will get a great deal on the music you love!
