    No option for vinyl? Why not? Sales are increasing year on year and whilst they will never get back to the heady heights they once were people are still buying that format in their droves and many of us prefer it that way.
    one of the famous 5:kiss:
  • I try and buy the CD if I can, but as I'm trying to watch my money I tend to go with the cheapest option. Also storing my CDs is becoming a problem these days and once I've burnt them to my iTunes I rarely use the CD again. I guess I'm just a sucker for owning a physical copy.

    The thing with downloads is if your laptop/computer/external hdd gets stolen - the insurers will only pay out for the cost of the laptop etc.

    But if you had 200 CDs stolen - they will pay out.

    I tend to buy them cheap.

    It's cool now that Amazon give you the MP3s of most of the CDs you have bought from them

    ... But I admit that I prefer to get a CD first since I'm more likely to play it that way!

    I buy mp3s from amazon and they goes straight into my amazon cloud player, so there is no chance of it getting lost and I can stream and download from there onto my laptop, phone, and ipod. I also have free space to upload music that I have uploaded from CDs to my laptop.
