Well, this grayhead hasn't bought a CD in ages. About 90% of my "record" collection comes through iTunes.

I buy new releases on CD and on vinyl.

I opted for the $12 CD instead of the $15 2LP set for a band's album that I bought this weekend but mostly because it was cheaper and because it is still a hassle (but not impossible) for me to put a record (I own) to CD.

iTunes has been deadly to me lately. Especially the "For You" section. Some of the stuff I don't like, but they have nailed me pretty good on a bunch of music. And then when the receipt comes in my email, it shocks me how much I spend at the store.

I have about 100 gigs of music, about 3 from iTunes.

Everything I buy from iTunes is something which is simply not in print on CD or something which is ridiculously overpriced on CD.

I prefer to own stuff on CD for now, until iTunes comes up with a truly lossless format.

My CDs remain higher-fi than iTunes for now.
