Yes. I want to listen full albums from start to finish instead of some random songs. I also want to support the bands I like by buying their albums.

This. So much this. I have given away CDs, but only albums I don't particularly care if I lose. |

Yes. I occasionally buy albums on I Tunes especially when they are by European artists and bands 'cause it is easier and much cheaper to get them on I Tunes but most albums I get from Amazon, JBHIFI, Book World and some other online shops. I rarely buy them from record shops around here anymore though and haven't for almost a decade 'cause we have to pay around $29.99 for albums each which is a rip off when I can get albums on Amazon for under $10 (some under $5) and they have Auto Rip which allows you to download them and play them on your laptop while you wait for them to arrive in the mail.

No. but if i did buy music it would definitely be CD's because it's the highest quality as there is no way i am going to pay for music that's in a lossy format(i.e. MP3/AAC etc).
but the good news is you can still download actual CD's because as long as you get them in FLAC format it's exactly like you have the actual CD from the store in your computer and from that you can make your own MP3 or AAC files etc quickly with Foobar2000 and it's encoder pack (both are free) as it takes basically 1min or less per CD converted from FLAC to MP3/AAC etc. basically FLAC is a lossless audio format where as MP3/AAC (the two most common lossy formats) are lossy which means that FLAC is identical to your store bought CD (assuming it was ripped from a store bought CD) in sound quality where as MP3 or AAC (AAC is what Apple iTunes uses basically) technically loses quality even though you won't notice it if it's at a decent bit rate etc.
basically with FLAC it's roughly 40% smaller in file size but identical to the actual store bought CD in sound quality.
p.s. that FLAC info above assumes someone ripped it from a actual store bought CD.
side note: the last time i bought a actual CD was the early 2000's but the vast majority of my actual CD's i bought where back in the 1990's. i still have about 69 actual CD's from back in the day and recently ripped em with EAC (Exact Audio Copy) to my computers hard drive and to sum it up the average CD size in FLAC format comes out to about 510MB over those 69 CD's. i used FLAC with max compression to which is the '8' setting.

I don't think I have bought one since 2006.
My last DVD was in 2009.
