If I really like an artist I'll buy a physical CD, otherwise I don't care enough to do so.

YES

I buy CDs almost exclusively. If an artist releases an album for free that I like, I ask if I can purchase a CD copy as well.

I prefer to have a CD rather than a download, I'm a big fan of having physical copies of things. I really don't like paying for digital downloads because it's just a file, if you delete it or something it's gone, whereas with a CD, if I make a digital copy, and then delete it, I can easily get it again. I suppose stuff like iTunes allows you to re-download stuff (I think) so that kinda makes that point null and void. I like CDs because they are higher quality than a lot of downloaded tracks, iirc tracks on iTunes are less than 320kbps, and as someone who likes their music to sound nice, it's pretty important for me to get high quality music. Also CDs just look nice. There are some things that I know I can't always get on CD, stuff like music from soundcloud/bandcamp and foreign music (shit's expensive) but I always try to get physical rather than digital copies of music.

I can't confirm the iTunes stuff I've said because I only used to to rip CDs and put the tracks on my iphone.

like drives?

That never really caught on, primarily, I hear due to expense. But perhaps there's a future in it?

I don't buy them if I can avoid it.

I'll buy CDs if It's not available in any other format.
Or if I happen across it in some weird little record store somewhere (there's an overlap with the previous point there...).
Or (and this is the main reason) if I'm at a show and it's all that's what the artist has.

The main advantage CDs seem to have for me is their portability for sale at shows, otherwise they're just pointless, inefficient space-hogging nuisances. People really need to figure out a better physical storage media for this...

I get a lot of CD's for free from friends, but I don't think I have actually purchased one since around 2009-ish. Basically the last time I went to blipfest and had money to spend on stuff.
