What's the most you've ever paid for a CD? What CD was it?
I don't remember any one being more expensive than usual. So I can't answer the question.
Do you own any CDs that aren't domestic?
Yes, we get them when we travel, useful souvenirs.
You bring the package to the counter and they get the CD from "out back" and put it in the package for you. They are not sold like they sell them here.
How do you feel about European discs and Japanese discs getting bonus tracks and special packaging when the US does not?
Technically, the Euro prices are a bit higher than US prices so the reality is that they get their money's worth and is pretty much equivalant to what the US gets on theirs.
Are there any bands/artists you go out of your way to purchase any release for?
Enya, any Broadway Musicals
Just a note: My daughter's portable CD/radio player broke down. We went out looking for another one and low and behold, there are hardly any on the market anymore! We ended up getting a combo CD with an "IPod" dock. She wants an IPod for Christmas. I better start saving.
