It may be an age thing.
I am 52, and i still like tangible source material, and i enjoy the experience of buying CD's/ As music journalist, I get a fair number of freebies, but i only really truly appreciate albums i have bought myself.
I have downloaded almost all my 7" collection - purely for practical and storage reasons - I wouldn't buy a download single, or download an album - i like a disc, cover art, the works - but that may be because i grew up with vinyl.
i can see that generations to come will find CD's as quaint as shellac 78's - the world moves on, and amen to that.
