Surely with downloading music shops won't be able to stay open?

Aside from the moral standpoint of illegal downloading... LOL
MP3 quality is too over rated. Once you put head phones on or turn your stereo up, all the tiny imperfections, even at 320\kbs become noticeable.
I'd be a hypocrit to say I don't still download music via Limewire, but generally its to find a song I might have heard a piece of somewhere and want to see if its as good as I thought, If the song is good, I usually have enough faith in the rest of the CD to atleast find a used copy somewhere.

Yes i do. but the funny thing is I don't know why . I do download some songs and other times i go and buy them on disk. The price of cds have fallen over the past 4 years though. average price now is about 13 dollars compared to 19 back then.

You make me feel really old, asking such a loaded question! My hubby and I buy CDs as we don't 'do' digital, neither of us own an iPod or other new-fangled music-listening device! (We are in our early 40s by the way, not our 60s!)
We're old enough to remember when vinyl was the only way to listen to music, scratches and all, and we recall the excitement when we got our first tape recorder, so we could tape music - it was high tech at the time! I miss my 12" black plastic records - the feel of them when you took them out of the sleeve for the first time, the size of them, and their extreme delicacy. CDs are a second best but I still prefer something tangible in my hands, rather than an invisible stream of data.

Sales of CDs still vastly outstrip sales of downloads. One of the reasons is if you buy the CD, you can rip it, then treat the CD as a backup whilst you keep the MP3 on your computer/player. CDs will sell well for a few more years yet, though the writing is on the wall.

I do...............i like to keep all my cd's..............i do still download for my mp3 player but if i like the sound of a new album thats out then i would rather buy the cd and dig it out whenever i feel like and play it in any part of the house and also to take it to the car...
MP3 and downloads are okay for a song that you couldn't find in the shops but cd's are still far better.

I like buying CD albums. I like all the info you get on the cover - who's playing guitar on a particular track - various writing credits, I like the having the song lyrics too. I'm sure I could down load this stuff but - I can't be bothered! I'd rather just go to the shop and pick it up.

I bought some CD's this last year. They make good gifts and they are relevant as cultural artifacts. People enjoy the ease of shopping in stores. It is likely that shops will find ways to compete with the downloading phenomenon and will adapt to survive in the market.

I bought one of those usb record players,cause i love vinyl so i
just put it onto my laptop and then on my ipod,i also use Cd's
and do the same.I think that people will use Cd's for a while yet
because the amount of people without computers still need
the CD format.I remember when people said vinyl would die out
but the dance music culture is still going strong,and long may
it continue.

Yes I still buy cds. I have and use bitcomet for downloading - only so I can see if an album is any good. If it is then I buy it, if its not then I get rid of the download (who wants to keep a rubbish album??). Downloading has saved me having to sell a lot of impulse purchases on ebay.
