Now that it's easier to download albums, or even just a single at a time, and have all your music in a digital collection, do you guys see yourselves having as a big a CD collection as people did in the past?

Personally, the only CDs I buy are my absolute favourites, the rest I download - some legitimately, others not.

I burn dozens of CDs, my collection keeps growing and I think most people still buy a CD every once in a while anyway. Also, I like to use my stereo, so I need to put some things on CD.

I much Prefer having Cd's, but i also download, which i then bern to Cd. I try to buy as many Cd's as posable, but if a cant find them i download them, but i some time download the odd Mp3 just to see what bands are like and just keep them on the computer.

So yes my Cd Collection grows, and i like to suport the local CD shop.

I buy about 6 cd's a month and probably download one or two songs so no, not a thing of the past for me.

hysterical and useless

I'm a CD nerd, I really like to read the inserts and have the pictures. There's just something about knowing what mini label put out an album jointly with another mini-major while being distributed by WMG, Sony/BMG, UMG, or EMI. Ah, the days of simple industry such and such.

I also only buy my favorites, but I get a lot of them from my internships.

i still buy cd's

it feels to me like showing commitment to the bands you support, by paying them for their hardwork instead of downloadng them free

plus i need some stero-material and the booklets and album art are pwnage

i don't buy very often. i don't see why i should. i only use it for my MP3 player because I can plug it into my stereo. I only buy them when I am out and I don't have it.

I buy cds. Got a little more than 100 at the moment. It's not that much compared to what many others have. But I rarely download music, and when I do, it's usally because I can't find any cds from the artist/band where I live.
