Can you not obtain the same material from say a

In Canada where I live everything costs way more than stateside, for starters.

Secondly the music the I listen to isn't this
 hard rock boom boom boom music that so many seem to favour.  

Perhaps as one person on another non-Macintosh list so aptly put it
"you're too frigging old to have fun or be fun with..."
Guess a half century plus ten is too old.  No children, no wife, no
grandchildren.
Maybe it's better that way. eh?

If I want a particular symphony,  or similar, I purchase the recording.

I don't have an iPod (or think they are necessary) , not do I record
selected track
or tracks from said music source...

It just goes against my grain.
