Defo. It separates the bigboy labels and artists from the amateurs. A perfect example of this is the shackelton 12's. I have a few of the skulldisco sleeves on my wall right now, because they are truely art pieces in their own right.

Screw that, Betamax. Or laserdiscs. I always wanted to tote around something that looks like a record but weighs like a bowling ball.

I haven't bought a physical cd in years, I'm usually only after the music and have no idea what to do with all the stuff after I put it on the HD

tbh, I don't really buy cd's that much, unless I really want to support the label

I rarely buy cd's anymore, If i do its for christmas or birthday presents for others, and the kinda music that dominates that is usually anything but dubstep and general dance music. Personally I always buy downloads when it comes to myslef purchasing dubstep, I used to collect loads of D'n'B Vinyl but since I have my CDJ's I just buy downloads of Juno etc.

cheers man, Avian-f :m:

i like having a physical object but its got to be priced right with cds, anything over a tenner is a mistake in my eyes
when netsky's album came out you could pre-order from the hospital shop and get it signed by the man himself, plus it was only £5. that was an instant buy for me

If there's the possibility of buying a CD instead of a download i do that. Simply because it's cheaper than downloading WAVs...

Mostly MP3
Altough I got some artists where I have all their CD's and if I find an artist very appealing I buy a CD or 2. Also art is very important to me, I like watching the CD box while listening.

But most Dubstep I got is mp3 for the simple reason I mostly listen to DJ's who didn't release a CD yet, atleast haven't seen them.
