Do you still buy audio CDs?

i :heart: Ruckus, although I still buy CDs for the higher quality audio than MP3's that can be purchased online. That, and I like to have an official, hard backup. I'll buy the cd, play it in my car a few times, rip the audio to my PC, and likely never open up the jewel case again, because I listen to my Zune with all my music on it. That's fine with me, I like having that backup, and I like owning the cd, especially for bands that put time into the cd package with art and whatnot and make it feel like a good purchase.

Had to say yes in the poll because my younger daughter wanted the soundtrack of HS Musical 2 for X'mas & I bought her the cd ... last time before that was nearly a year ago when I snagged an Alice Cooper collection.

If I know it's not gonna disappoint, I'll pick up the CD. If I have any doubts, nope. =/

Don't like having a bad CD sitting around taking up space. I'd just get a few songs that I like and call it good.

I just bought a Kanye West - graduation cd randomly. I think its one of my first CDs ever, kind of anti-climactic.

Im not a music buff though

Not that often. I recently bought the FF8 Piano Collection, and before that a soundtrack to a tv show...and i'm looking for Ultra Blue since I really feel she really deserves the money for that.

So yes...but I purchase at a slow rate. Oh - and I use mp3sparks/allofmp3 as its a great site. I don't mind actually paying 25 cents to get a song that doesn't suck in a format of my choosing without DRM. 1 dollar for DRM ridden songs at a fixed format and bitrate is really limiting and I don't like it. In the past year I have purchased 10 songs, and two of those were today.

I purchase audio CDs after sampling the music from other sources, if the music is good. Just bought The Silent Force and Theory of Everything from Within Temptation as a matter of fact.
