I still buy cds from play, cdwow or amazon. They're usually cheaper than downloading, especially if they're over a couple of months old. They're at full uncompressed quality if that's important to you and you can still put them on the computer/ipod/mp3player/generic media device thingy technical wossname. It takes seconds for itunes or windows media player to rip them from cd, less time to download infact (as long as you don't count the amount of time it takes the cd to arrive in the mail).
