Admission?: Yes. I will buy a compilation CD as a lazy man’s jukebox for music of a particular mood I may be in. Often, however, my appetite grows larger than the contents of that one CD.

Soundtracks: sometimes, yes. Especially if there is a performance I found moving or a song “I’ve just got to have.” For example, the rendition of Begin the Beguine on the Rocketeer soundtrack CD. Now I’m waiting for music of that kind recorded in hi-def digital multi-track and released on DVD-A or SACD. Do we have a DVD-A / SACD suggestions thread?
