For me it's a quality issue. Digital downloads are still not as high a quality as the CD (assuming a professionally mastered CD to begin with). It's like asking "TIF or JPEG?"... I'll take the TIF, please, 'cause I can then downsample for as many JPEGs as I want, but I can't ever turn that JPEG back into a TIF. Same w/ music. I buy some stuff online, 'cause I mostly listen to music in the Trooper, which isn't exactly an excellent listening space, but if it's something that I really care about, I want the CD so I can listen to the full quality, as artist and engineer intended it, on the system in the living room.
