Nah, if I want a specific album I'll just google it, and things like YouTube are good for random browsing. Would get into Spotify but i can't be bothered xD

I pay for my music. AMA.
I dislike streaming services like Spotify. In order to make a dollar, triple the population of my hometown needs to listen to the same track. Also I hate the idea that I need an active internet connection to listen to something I could easily listen to from my device.
When it comes to independent artists, I always make sure to buy their stuff from Bandcamp. That ensures that most of the money go to them. I even was a Patreon of a specific musician for a while. For commercial artists I use specific music websites or subscription-based ones that allow me to download the files to listen to offline (eMusic). For everything else, there's Noisetrade.

I'll buy a used/like new CD on eBay for like $4 on occasion, but usually only because I can't find a FLAC torrent of it. So usually I do not pay for music.
Do streaming services count? If so then yes.
Other than that, I buy albums from indie artists sometimes.
I don't pirate much of my music (unless you count YouTube)
So I guess yes?

its been a while - spotify/google music for me as of the past few years, but prior to that it was on board storage and around 10 gigs of my fave stuff.
my first mp3 i downloaded was Butthole Surfers - Pepper in prob like 1996ish and never turned back during the napster days.

Never tried streaming services. Always seems like a worse option than clicking related videos on youtube or something. While I may point and laugh at things like facebook and twitter I can sort of understand why some people other than me would use them (unchecked vanity and delusions that they are doing something interesting does seem to be a popular affliction), however to this day I have no earthly idea why spotify got big. It does not even seem to be an ease of use thing, though I guess it could sort of be that.
I guess I pay to go to concerts, and music nights at various places.
My music collection grows at the rate of about 1 album a year, less if the bands I like are not releasing that year. I am still one for albums as well -- good singles are almost look a good riff and things I can happily ignore. Good album or I don't care.

Or, I also heard that if you use flash memory, it can act as more "RAM" at least windows tell me when I stick a flash drive into it. -
