Ok, here it comes.

The currency for this poll is the (in)famous US Dollar. Check out this site for currency conversion: https://www.xe.com/

If you don't buy CDs every month, just calculate the average.

In my case it's about $12, since I'm very poor.

I easily spend more than $50 in CDs. I have to keep up my steady diet of modern or neglected repertoire and those CDs do not come cheap. I don't buy standard repertoire anymore, simply because I already have recordings of most of it and, quite frankly, most artists who play exclusively standard rep do not need the financial support as much as others.

I'm at about $50 per month for Cd's. Rarely buy recent releases, mainly 2nd hand bargains on e bay. As Retro, I have not bought standard rep for about 10 years.

Spend about 6 x this on dusty old scores according to my credit card statement.

I probably spend most on decent blank CDs for recording, but even including that, my average monthly amount is less than US$5. If gifts for other people are included it might reach US$10.

I don't spend a huge amount on CDs, but then I do work on recordings and usually get given a copy of recordings I've helped produce, so there are always a few coming in.

I spend a lot more on sheet music!
