CD's although anything I have downloaded (3 albums so far) is not from iTunes, I hope you all realise they are not only more expensive but they also only give you 128kpbs (which is crap) and charge you extra for 256kpbs (which is the minimum you should be listening to :P). Most download sites will give you 256-320kpbs vbr for less money.

CD is still the best option in my eyes though, when MP3's eventually become obsolete I will still have my physical media to rerip.

I usually buy my music from amazon since it is DRM-free and good quality, only time I buy a cd is when I can't find it on there.

I do both but I like having a large CD collection more than a large itunes selection.

I buy a combination of CDs and MP3s from amazon. I'll usually only buy the MP3 album when it's significantly cheaper.

CDs. Collecting is fun :P. Besides, it's a pain to properly backup downloaded content.

Yep. Collecting is fun....but it gets expensive. Still I can't help myself. And juggling games, movies, and music...:P

Yeah, I love collecting music, video games, and books. Well, actually, I love listening to/playing/reading them, and the collecting is just a side benefit. :P

That's why I'll usually try to buy CDs. I can't justify it to myself when the MP3 album is $7-10 cheaper though. :(

I tend to buy CDs more recently but I still download some legally. If I really like the band I usually get their CDs for collecting purposes.

I buy CD's if it's a band I really like, it's nice to have something physical. If it's just something I like the sound of then I'll buy it online. I used to be naughty but now with programs like Spotify there's no reasonable excuse to pirate music.

I like buying albums; if the artist doesn't release a LP, I just download.

Unless it's impossible to obtain the album in a physical form (live performances on certain websites, iTunes, etc.), I'll always buy a physical copy. I just love having the CD, art, etc.

I buy CDs if its from one of my favorite bands or if I really like the album, especially if its a special edition or has a poster that comes with it.

I buy CD's all the time. I love having the disc, artwork, and linear notes. Plus, if my computer crashes I still have the music.

I only get CDs when I know I'll want to listen to it in the car. I have to really enjoy about 3/4ths of the CD to even consider buying it.

I buy most of my music in CD format. Only DL something if I get a gift card. Get a little of my music through...other methods, but generally only if I can't get in CD format. (Or sometimes I just feel like listening to something, but don't have the money to buy it at the moment :P )

I still buy CDs as often as I can. I only download stuff when that's the only way to get the song due to it being out of print or the band not recording a proper album as of yet.

CDs. If my hard drive crashes, it'll be annoying, but at least I'll still have access to all my music.
