I pay $14.95/month for it
Tower Records on Decatur Street used to be the only place I could find most of the artists I was interested in. By the time I hit my "anti-music" period in the mid-90s they weren't as good with the obscure stuff I wanted but had a huge video and software selection on the 2nd floor so when I would go with friends (who were less demanding musically) they would have a blast going through music downstairs and I would have a blast finding treasures upstairs.
Couldn't tell you the last time I bought a CD. I order DVDs online all the time, stuff I'd never find locally. Until a few months ago my car radio stayed on an AM talk station and my music listening was occassional and at home online; launch.com, live365.com, shoutcast, the winamp stations, etc. I tried the Urge 2 week trial shortly after it launched and was so blown away I signed up for a year and bought an 8 gig Zen player so I can take tunes with me. I am enjoying music again with a selection that no brick and mortar store could ever match, not even Tower.
