I've loved movie soundtracks since I was a kid and got my first portable cassette recorder and started recording TV shows like The Avengers, The Baron, The Outer Limits, and many others from the TV. Later I started buying soundtracks on LP 33 1/3 records, and finally cd's. I prefer movie and TV show soundtracks to listening to songs on the radio. I make my own mixes from various soundtrack sources and listen to them on my cd player in my truck. I haven't listened to a radio broadcast in about 10 years. When I bought my new truck they gave me a free month of Sirius radio. I never used it.
Besides soundtracks I collect movies. First on dvds, then Laser discs, then bluray discs, and now 4K UHD discs. Unfortunately, most of the new movies these days don't have soundtracks that are memorable, or stirring, or exciting like the older movies did. For me, the soundtrack is the heartbeat of a movie and sets the mood and even enhances the movie, even if the movie is mediocre. Anyway, thanks for the posts and keep 'em coming.
