I’ve learned a few things trolling the Internet searching for (non-pirated) music I can download for free. I do not, as my husband claims, “abuse the system.” It’s not like I’m taking more than one of any free download. Free is free. And I don’t just download what is free; it’s just one of the means I use to discover new things. In plenty of cases, I have found artists that I went on to purchase music from. I have a playlist on my iPod called “Shopping List” with songs from these artists. I also troll the playlists on iTunes to discover artists to feed my addiction, and on occasion I make a purchase or two. In order to keep within a budget, I buy iTunes gift cards (Gifts! For myself! Fun!) so I always have a few bucks of credit to buy something I just have to have. I limit myself to limiting it to $15 or so to keep myself from going hog wild on a music spree (as much as I would love to).
