I have come across many different people in the music scene and ive always gotten a mixed answer to this question
Do you preffer the digital music that you can carry around with you in your pocket or the physical album that you can collect.
i like a little of both but i always lean toward getting an album. If i like all of the songs on an album ill go out to a store and look for it or order it online but if its only like 1 or 2 songs then ill just go on itunes and purchase them if i really feel like its worth my money.

It's a give and take. Digital music is infinitely more convenient, but you're not going to get the same sound quality unless you ******** around with FLAC, which at that point, you might as well just collect the hard copies.
So yeah, I use both. I actually recently got to raid the record collection in my girlfriend's house (her mother is a divorced hoarder, so she has a ton of s**t that she doesn't actually want). Her parents had some pretty legit taste, apparently. Practically doubled my record collection right then and their. It was like Christmas. A digital download doesn't carry with it the same joys as records and CDs.

Both to be honest with you. I love the pysical version because I had Itunes crash on me and I lost 8 gigs of music. Cant ever be too careful.
And I have my MP3 player for work....and like to listen to CDs now and again. smile

Sometimes I'll buy CDs of things I already have digitally and then I'll be like "why do I even have this, I have it on my computer?" and I'll end up trading it at this video game store here that also takes CDs. I can't say it's awful given how it works for me, but I don't really listen to CDs ever. That might be because I don't even own a CD player, though? There are a few albums that I'll buy the physical copies of but only because I really, really like the album and want to display it somewhere.

I'm both & both. With bands/artists I want to support I will go out & buy their CDs. Plus my car's not that young so I'm only able to play CDs ehehe.

If it's a musician I like for only one song, I'll buy that song on iTunes, but otherwise, I go out and I support my local record stores. I'll buy cds for all of my favourite musicians. I even use vinyl quite a bit because I find the sound quality to just be fantastic. I also like to buy my CDs used, that way I don't have to pay as much as if I were buying new. I've also found that by buying used, I'm getting a better deal than buying the thing on iTunes. I got a Nirvana album once for $0.99. It was great, perfect condition and way cheaper than on iTunes. Another time, I got a copy of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (Smashing Pumpkins 1996 two-disc epic) for ten dollars, a whole twenty dollars cheaper than anywhere else I'd seen it. I guess if iTunes didn't exist, I could probably live my life happily on CDs and vinly.

I like both.
Digtal is good for car rides and plane rides or if the powers out.
Albums are goods for listening with friends or working out to.

Both. if I dont have the physical copy Ill buy digitally and draw the album cover and everything. I have 2 physical copies of every song and 3 digital copies. Just so I have backup. 2/3 of the digital is actually on flash drives.
Physical is better to me because you go to a concert you can get the disk signed, digital is handy for backup copies just in case the disc gets ruined.

I'm pretty loyal to my vinyl's when I'm at home, but when I'm walking down the street and it comes to a choice of CD MP3, I stick with the latter. The difference in sound quality doesn't matter as much when it's blending with the sounds of traffic.

I wish I could get albums physically. Lately, though, I've just been remixing themes from games and such, trying to also make my own songs, so... both.
