Depends what you like
I have friend who feels the same about movies. He won't go to a movie in theaters, won't subscribe to movie channels on cable and won't rent a movie. If he wants to watch a movie he buys the DVD. That has it's advantages I suppose but I think he misses the theater experience and spends a lot on movies he doesn't like that he never watches again as he sells them to pawn shops if he doesn't like them for $2.

Now most people aren't like this as this is extreme and some are on the opposite spectrum like my brother who doesn't own a single movie but subscribe to movie channels and netflix. People can fall anywhere in between.

Now music is no different and I have to say I really enjoy sampling. The way I sample I'd be broke in no time paying a buck song. Most of the songs I'd sample I don't care for but I do stumble on few I really like and those I'd buy. Back in the Napster day I was downloading demon. Downloading songs as fast as I could and bought tons of CDs because of it. I'd find all kind of music I want to own but for every song I found I liked there was probably two dozen or more I didn't like. Now legit service exist allowing this, why not I-Tunes as well? I'm sure they could do a better job that the other as the others all suck.
