Sprog1 is heavily into MP3 being the proud owner of a Creative Player ( the sort that is so much better than Ipods!) while I hardly ever get the chance to use a Creative Player and nearly always seem to have a CD player to hand.
Cost wise there is little between it - and with downloads you don't get the casing and with MP3 donwloads there is the question of safe archive storage.
In the end I still be CDs because I physically like to receive and live with them - yes they take up room but nothing like the 1200 vinyls which I once possessed!
Massive Attack's latest collection + DVD of greatest hits is a case in point - yes I have all the tracks on other CDs, but it is great to have them all in one place - with the accompanying DVD videos on the other side ( forgotten just how great those early videos were) and then there is brilliant graphics and information on the casing.
