I beg to differ. I still buy CDs. Partly because I like having the physical product and Artwork, and partly because the sound quality is better than MP3. Obviously, owning the CD does not stop you from ripping it to a digital format and sticking that on your phone. Plus: you can do that as many times as you want should other/better formats become available.
For all the convenience of the MP3, I fail to see why you would purchase an inferior format when you can get better quality that you can rip to whatever poor quality you want?
