Actually, I personally don't know anyone over 50 who's bought new music in the last decade - everyone that age I know mainly sticks to radio (either country or classic rock, at home or in the car).

I've got a few years before hitting 50, (born in the 60s) but that pretty much describes me. I used to collect favorite CDs a lot, because I wanted to have my own faves at my disposal in my house whenever I wanted. These days, new stuff that comes out has to really work hard to manipulating me into adding it to my collection.
I also have gone the route of playing music to entertain myself, too. I have two guitars, a ukulele, a piano, my kids have various instruments, my husband plays viola. I'm by no means professional, but I get satisfaction and pleasure out of being able to sing "Sunshine on my Shoulders" whenever the mood strikes me.
Heh, this has nothing to do with the Pirate Bay,
but those pirates better not steal my guitar!
