Do you still buy physical albums?

This is exactly how I feel.

I like to own a physical copy of the albums I own. Albums stored on the computer just aren't the same.

I tend to favour CDs for reasons of space; vinyl's nice but just wouldn't be practical for me. I don't see vinyl ever achieving its old level of popularity; CDs are far too convenient, relatively speaking.

I think now that I have my car collection I'm pretty much set with physical

I hardly download any songs, I like having a collection of CDs

All I do is buy CDs of music, I dont download music, I find it more rewarding to go to a record store and finding it other than going onto a music download thing and finding it there. It's just my personnal preference.

I buy vinyl records and, when I have to, CD's.
I do download music to get to know it. It's completely legal here in the Netherlands.
Downloading only makes me buy more CD's and records, since I like to have something tangible (is that even the right word to use here? google translate tells me to

)

I download but I still like to buy the albums as well.

I think i've actually bought more physical albums this year than i have in any other years. CDs are just so cheap now, and used CDs are being given away for practically nothing. Downloading however is still my main source of music.

I buy vinyl when I can, it's a ritual thing playing records, moreso with my TT as it has an extra step involved. I have a Townshend Rock and this has a trough of silicon fluid you have to move in and out when changing records. It damps oscillations at the front end and is so worth it.

I buy physical albums if I feel like it'd be a good collectors item, otherwise I just download or buy off iTunes.
