You shouldn’t have bought her music in the first place.

Unless you really liked it.

I rarely buy music. If I want to hear something that's not playing on Sirius XM, I can listen on YouTube or check a CD out of the library.

Only if I went to their concert and want to financially support a band do I buy their CD. Try these guys:

There's really no need to "buy" music anymore and I say that as one who was an avid record collector for over 30 years.

With a $10 monthly subscription to a music service like Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music (and a number of others), you will have unlimited access to pretty much everything that was ever recorded. You can stream it or download it to listen to offline (the mp3 files will continue to work so long as you keep up with the subcription).

If you really want to be a cheapskate, just go to YouTube and not only will you be able to stream just any album or song but you can also access countless live performances of just about any artist.

For most of my adult life I bought albums on physical media starting with the LP format, a few 8-tracks, then cassette tapes, compacts and finally mp3s when they were initially only available for sale. Some of the classic albums I kept rebuying as the physical media changed. It depresses me to think about the money I spent over the years purchasing music. It averaged way more than $10 a month, that I can tell you!
