The only music I get in a non-physical format is stuff that I get free (but legally, I would like to add), and if I find anything I like, I buy the CD. I also still listen to cassettes and have purchased vinyl not too long ago (Video Killed the Radio Star on 7 inch!). However, I do also think that music is somewhat overpriced, so I often have to wait for a year or so for the stuff I want to get reduced. @Katrina: As a 16 year old and therefore part of “the upcoming generation,” I agree with you.

For instance a favorite CD of mine that I would've bought for $9.99 some years ago is now selling for anywhere between $15 to $19.99. I'm not a fan of the digital music age other than buying a few bonus tracks or live songs via ITunes and I think it's a shame that the upcoming generation has no history of vynl, cassettes, 8 track players, or even CD's...since apparently they're being phased out. I myself still collect CD's, vynl, and cassettes. I love buying CD’s, but I hate how high the prices are.

Many people (too many) no longer buy music; they simply get it for free, legally or illegally. And let’s not forget that music sales on the whole are down significantly.

Vinyl is making a big comeback, that probably counts for a few percent. But still, I find this hard to believe. I think I've bought one CD in the last 10 years.
