Out of the 8630 songs in my music library, the vast majority fall under various sub-genres of metal, consisting of about 6600 songs. The other genres present are ambient shoe-gaze, rock, 80s pop small traces of rap.
About 2000 of these songs were obtained legally by the purchase of the physical CD. Sources of purchase were eBay, Amazon, or CD stores such as Vintage Vinyl, CD World, and Best Buy. The total cost of these songs comes to an estimated $2830 according to the textbook.
The remainder of the songs were obtained via file-sharing through an undisclosed method. This is not because I refuse to pay for music. I enjoy very much having the artwork and actual CD; but more out of availability and cost. Almost all of these albums are from over seas vendors as they are not available in the United States. Not only does this make finding them exceptionally hard, but they also can cost up to 4 times the price of a similar CD purchased here. Often, one would have to pay to a potentially unreliable source and can lose a good amount of money. Anything else is OOP (out of print) and almost impossible to find.
