Both, but I mostly download.

I had loads of CD's as a kid, would save my pocket money to collect them, then I got burgled and lost them all (twice), after that I stopped bothering.

Record companies can fhuck themselves though, how much do you think an album would be now had the likes of iTunes & illegal downloading not happened? Seriously think it'd be £20-25. It had reached 15.99+ a decade ago ffs.

Nothing can replace the excitement of getting a CD in the post, unwrapping it, looking at the case and then giving the freshly printed booklet a sniff but I'm not forking out without having heard the music first. And if the artist can't be bothered to get some CD's pressed and it's a choice between iTunes and illegal downloads well then I'm having it for free, thank you very much.

I'm sure theres a thread for this already but Pink Golf Balls is a whole different world.

There really is nothing like getting record or CD and owning the artwork, the booklet, the extras, and it's hard to replicate the audio quality of the original on an mp3. However, I don't feel guilty if I download albums, music is too simple of thing in life in my eyes to not be accessed by everyone. There is too much music out there, and so little time (and money), so I'm not going to go my way two hours to the one good record store left in my city, so they might not have what I'm looking for. My favorite essential albums I will with no doubt have a physical copy.

I think the last CD I bought was American Idiot.

I still buy vinyl in stores sometimes, but I stick to downloads for the most part.

Download 99% but I have over 200 CD's which is okay.

I still love Cd's but nowadays I find it kinda difficult to buy them without hearing the content first, even if it's an artist I'm a fan of.
Although, I suppose that back when they were more prevalent I did quite like the suspense of not knowing whether or not it would be any good.

I dont understand how anal beads option was added to my poll. But anyway, I download all of my music from the internet, from torrent sites. To be honest though, I would buy a physical CD of music if it wasnt so expensive. And theres also the fact that music stores doesnt always have what you're looking for. So these kind of things truly deter me and possibly other people from wasting money on physical CDs.

Anal beads are balls on a string that go in your butt
