I've never bought a music CD... I just have two that came with games (Homeworld and Warcraft III)... and a couple of old classical cds i got as gifts.
Of course, I didn't have over 250 megs of MP3s until about a year ago (well, less than a year... I didn't really start getting many until last October...) either... but now I have 12 gigs. :)
Its a mix of videogame music (5 gigs), anime music (3 gigs), classical music (2 gigs), scifi music (majority from Star Wars and Lexx), and some other stuff (1.2 gigs, over half techno).
If I had to pay for music... I just wouldn't have any. For me, with the amount of money I have and make, music is very low on the 'worth paying for' scale... I'm sure that if I didn't have MP3s I just wouldn't listen to anything while using the computer (that's the only time I listen to music -- listening to music while not doing anything bores me very fast...)
