Neither do I. I actually prefer to buy the cd, with booklet and all. The main problem is that so much music is cr*p these days.

I dont think music is crap these days as in my liking there is alot what i like  but its the price im afraid.
I would be most than happy to pay £5 - £7 for an album. Perfectly happy. I would prefer it. Youve got it, high quality, booklet, case 'n' all.

Yeah, prices will have to come down, and it would definitely help sales (see post #1).
I wouldn't mind paying a bit more if I knew I was helping some struggling artist though.

On that note, rather than buying a tele licence, I think we should be paid for owning a radio/tele...
