How do you prefer to get your Music

[DIAF]

CDs. I do not like downloading music (either legally or illegally) for many reasons.

1. the bands I like are all small-time, and depend on their fans to buy their stuff or else they cease to exist.
2. While i'm not really an audio snob, i have spent a decent amount of money on headphones/speakers/amp/dac to turn my computer into a better-than-average audio rig, so I like to have CDs to rip to lossless formats for listening.
3. Always have a physical copy of the music you purchased.
4. No friggin' DRM.

I haven't gone out and bought a CD in years. I download everything now.

I have a ton of CDs from back in the day, and most of the music I listen to is from my old collection... don't really care for much of the new music these days. But when I do buy something new, it's almost always downloaded from iTunes or whatever.

I tried to think of the last time I actually bought a CD. I honestly can't remember the last time. Maybe 10 years ago.

I'm weird. I love buying CD's to have the best quality of sound, but I will only buy a physical CD if it's an artist that I really love and like at least 5 tracks on the CD. Otherwise, I will purchase a song here and there on iTunes.

Bit Torrent. I buy albums from people I respect, but other than that I fly the pirate flag.
