on the virtues of buying CDs

reasons to buy CDs:
- you can get them used, really really cheap online
- you get a whole album instead of one song
- you get liner notes
- you can rip them at any bitrate you want
- you can play them on any device/brand you want
- if you bought songs with DRM from itunes and your ipod breaks, you have to buy another ipod
- you can sell them when you're done with them
- you don't have to worry about your hard drive/ipod crashing and taking all your music with it

reasons to buy digital downloads:
- you can't be bothered to drive to the used cd store or wait a few days for it to come in the mail
- most of your music collection consists of one-hit-wonders
- you are too lazy to rip your own CDs
