I will say that CDs are getting harder to find at stores. I, for one, like having CDs to listen to in my home office. They sound better than some downloaded compressed-format track. I do have an older iPod music player, but I rip all of my music into Apple lossless format for that. Oh, and I like having the CD as a backup copy, too.
Of course, I still have about 200 cassettes, too, stuff I never bothered to replace with CDs. And I have an old Pioneer tape deck I bought at the base exchange in England back in the mid-90s that I use every once in a while when I want to listen to one of them. I know, dying breed and all that.
