whats better? downloading or buying cd's?

obviously buying, but owning all these albums on CD just take up room in your house. I actually want to get rid of my CD's cause I have all the albums digitally now and instead buy a few select vinyl albums.

Well physical copies cost money and not everyone, myself included, can afford to buy all their music on cd or vinyl. People want to discover and listen to new albums the whole time so they have no choice but to resort to downloading. Then there is the issue of a lot of albums being nearly impossible to find on cd or vinyl, again resulting in people having to download to get them. If i can find a physical copy of an album and if i can afford to buy it well then that's great, but if i can't then i just have to download it.

I buy most CD's second hand

I buy second hand cds too. But not as much as i'd like to due to a limited range of selection available to me.

If you want new music it's obviously a problem.
But after a couple of years they go really cheap here

I buy all my CD's used from Amazon. I mean $3-$5 is a pretty good deal for something that I'll listen to for probably 3 hours if I don't like it and upwards of 60-80 hours if it's really good. I mean, that's a pretty good deal right?

Plus, how satisfying is it to walk in your room to a wall full of cd's and music posters on the wall?

Don't the people who ask this have better things to spend money on?
