How much does everyone spend on their music subscription?
Just curious. My renewal fee is $420; seems very expensive.

Music Subscription Price
- Thread starter djlee
- Start date
most all will be around 4 to 500 per annum. ITs peanuts if you calculate it all with the rest of your expenses. I go by the less than gig thought.
PO Hits Music Videos were around 300 for a year subscription. Otherwise 10 dollars a month for napster and I'm loving it!
I figure about $3 per useable song per disk, which makes it worthwhile to me.

I think it depends on how much you DJ and what your main types of events are....
- Weddings or not DJing very often: $150 - $200 a year (for new music)
- Schools, clubs, college events: $500 - $600 a year (for new music)

IMO the cost of a subscription service is well worth the investment. Especially Primecuts.
Edits, Knowing I have top 30, worth every penny of the 50 bucks a month.

Music subscriptions are just good common sense.
Exposure to new music is a plus. The cost of chasing every artist "latest & greatest" is an effort in futility.
The compilations that the music subscription services assemble are helpful in covering multiple formats to suite most needs.
The variety and versatility amazes people.
Example: I have very little need for Latin music. Building a full "current" Latin library would not be cost effective. Yet, the Latin songs that have appeared on the weekly subscriptions have been there, when the need arose.
I thouroughly enjoy the edits and warnings. Not enough time to be thouroughly briefed on every "questionable" song.
I utilize multiple music services and find them to be very affordable - cost effective.

Prime Cuts, I found is the best cost effective, and time saving way to go to keep up with all the major music genres!!
I spend $300 a year on Promo Only Mainstream and Rhythm Radio. I like the idea of Weekly cds that have the entire spectrum of genres from Prime Cuts - but the $600 a year plus shipping seems a bit much.
On top of that I probably spend about $300 or so a year on other CDs to fill in my older time line.
Really wish that XMix still had their monthly huge bundle sales..

I use a service that cost close to 500.00 per year. About another 300.00 for the downloads of other genres. It cost to keep up but it's sure worth it. I play Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Reggaeton, Soca, Calypso, DanceHall Reggae, Chutney, 60's 70's, 80's, 90's, 00 - 07. Hip Hop, R&B, House and Disco. Just added Kompa and Zouk to the list 2 years ago.
See why this DJ is broke! It's for the love of the tunes baby....

Ultimix (vinyl subscription) $300 for the year. I also belong to a DJ Association and pay $75.00 a month for promo vinyl and cd's....approx 100 titles a month.
