CD Albums or Downloading

I'd like to know how many people buy CD albums or Download music from internet and I'd like to know your opinions on which option is better.

I, personally, buy CD albums since I find downloading the songs one-by-one quite annoying. But I'd like to know you're opinions as well on this.

I have about half of my music on CDs. I have tended to download first, and then buy the albums when I have the money, and if I really like them and/or the artist. I've been using free streaming services a lot more recently though.

Ultimately, I would like to have everything on CD. I much prefer the physical medium; with digital it hardly feels like you own it, and you don't get the choice of high quality. I'm proud of my shelf of CDs even if most of them are in a carry case.

I download but if i like i buy.

I like CD (and vinyl).
I mean, mp3 is cool, but what if your computer crashes and you lose all that?

I buy in digital format from iTunes ect.
Since any CDs I have just go straight on my HDD any way.

If only other payments options were possible for me, my music would've been all legit copies. I got most of my music from downloads =(

Most of my music is downloaded, but the stuff I really like I'll go out a buy the CD copy as well.

CD? What about 8-Tracks?
Why 8-Tracks don't get no love?

I put in Other as an option didn't i?

Both. Still, I prefer having the music on physical media because I don't have to worry about losing it. It also looks way nicer on my shelf. I like supporting the artists for their works.

CDs are not that expensive if you know where to look and keep your eyes open for sales and promotions. I manage to pick up Iron Maiden's entire 80's discography for less than 35 bucks at a local store once. Music stores going out of business are a gold mine.
