I don't buy too many, maybe 2 pieces/month. Exclusively Metal.
Sometimes, there's a local cd store run by this dude and the shit there is cheap, I bought all the Primus stuff there as a deal for $20.
I have quite a few CD's that I've collected, but I have a lot more just digitally downloaded. However, my CD collection is pretty unique, with lots of strange and rare artists that I was lucky to find, and I am quite proud of it.
Just started a couple months back Smashing Pumpkins - Gish Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream (my only vinyl so far) Smashing Pumpkins - Pisces Iscariot Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Smashing Pumpkins - Zero (EP) Smashing Pumpkins - Adore Wolfmother - Wolfmother Planning on buying: Pearl Jam - Ten Ten Years After - 1967 Velvet Underground & Nico Edit: Woah, didn't realize the thread was old
[QUOTE=Zwogon;17593832]Edit: Woah, didn't realize the thread was old[/QUOTE] CLEAR! *BZZZZTHUMP* We have a pulse. Meh 4 weeks isn't that old, 6 months is old.
I collect CD's.
It's nice to know that there ARE still people out there who understand the meaning of getting your money's worth. Why pay $15 for some digital files, when you can actually get the album art, CD, and a case for it?

It's not like you're going to buy music for the case, and if you are you're buying music for the wrong reason.
[QUOTE=pie_is_good;17047513]I really need to update my list. Here we go hurr[/QUOTE] I also now have The Beatles- Stereo box set (that's all their albums) Boards of Canada - Geogaddi Coldplay - Viva La Vida Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left, Pink Moon Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks Guns n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction, Use Your Illusion 2 Joy Division - Permanent: Best of, Closer King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King Love - Forever Changes New Order - the best of Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn Pixies - Surfer Rosa R.E.M. - Up The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street Sigur Ros - Ágætis byrjun Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger The Who - My Generation the Best of (that's 3 the Who compilation albums I have now!)

And if it were to come to printing it out, that would waste so much ink.
[QUOTE=CorpseRida;17659171]But I'd rather have the actual booklet of art instead of just on my computer. And if it were to come to printing it out, that would waste so much ink.[/QUOTE] Well I wouldn't. It just comes down to personal preference, I like to save space so I buy digitally.
I don't, but I'm planning to do so over time. Atleast in the future :)
I have a lot of AC/DC albums (Black Ice, Back in Black, Let There Be Rock), a few Motley Crue albums (Saints of L.A., Dr. Feelgood), and other various stuff. I'm looking for "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" by... well, the Sex Pistols.
[QUOTE=Perfumly;17659299]Well I wouldn't. It just comes down to personal preference, I like to save space so I buy digitally.[/QUOTE] Digital files are pretty much meaningless. Nothing to hold, nothing to keep. With a few clicks of a button they're gone forever. [editline]06:33PM[/editline] They're nice for preview purposes, but you don't really have the full experience of the music if you don't have the packaging.
Plus with the actual CDs you can make a little house with them.

[QUOTE=Perfumly;17685217]I buy music to listen to it, must make me weird or something.[/QUOTE] You can't hold a file in your hands. You can't see the expansion of the artist's creative vision beyond the sound, file name, and cover. Some bands actually develop packaging that's meaningful, you know.

I don't care about the plastic case a CD comes in, and you do, we're not going to change eachother's minds.
