(and not managing to make a choice between the orders you could cancel or keep, when realizing you have ordered too much.....)
any "cure" against that?
i guess, leaving music messageboards... stop visiting amg, amazon & co... or getting deaf (even though having ear problems that prevented me from listening to music didn't prevent me from buying cds still o_O)

there is a christ, and his name is soulseek.
i do know the joy of posession an album, cover-art and all. my cd collection got robbed earlier this year, and i had two options: spend a decade (and thousands of dollars) painfully reconstructing it, or download. i realized spending my 20s with access to new music trumps a vague feeling of guilt. i firmly believe this free music thing won't last much longer, and i think i'll regret not having used it to hear new stuff more than i would violating copyright laws. i gave warp too much money already anyways.

(and i agree with you, free music won't last forever...)
i don't think all slogans are intellectual lazyness, some are well found, and better than a long speech... but not all, of course...

how much music do you have ? i have apprx. 300 cassettes, they only get listened to when i mow the yard
50 vinyl, listen to the 12"s very often and 700cds, of which i like to grab different ones to listen to, or grab a my selection of "band a" and listen to that
but ive noticed as i get older (almost 30!!) that i buy a lot fewer cds, less that i like and also more bills in life
our credit card is only at $200 btw :)

in high school I used to buy a cd about every two weeks... which was great if the cd was a good cd... two weeks is a good time to really get a feel for the album, and really get into it... I find now that if I have more then two or three new cds at a time, I'll find the one I really like, and neglect the others...

btw, no matter how many new cds i get, i always listen to them all- not properly ofcourse, i sort of browse through very quickly, just to get an idea what's it like.
