yeah, there are these things called "mp3 files" and you can download 
them for free from things called "p2p networks" or "bit torrents".  Not 
that I recommend music piracy, but it works for me.  Another side 
effect of the "mp3 revolution" is that CDs have dropped considerably in 
value, so much so that I now only buy them from thrift stores for $2 
each, whereas when I started buying CDs I was paying $20-$30 each.  So 
now with the same amount of money I can buy 10 or 15 times as many.  I 
also started collecting thrift store vinyl about 10 years ago, which 
has given me access to some recordings that are not and will never be 
available on CD (and not likely mp3, either).  Unfortunately a large 
local thrift store chain (Value Village) jacked the price of their 
vinyl up by over 150% a few years ago, and other thrift stores are 
pretty well picked through these days, so you have to go frequently, at 
least once a week, in hopes of coming across a new shipment before 
someone else does.  That might not be feasible for people with regular 
employment, but then if I had regular employment I'd probably buy 
whatever I would want off the internet, including wacky vinyl...
