    I'm all about the ipod now -- but have only been using it for about a year. Before that I'd use my regular CD player and (no laughing, please) a discman. (Have I mentioned that I'm electronically challenged? )

    I do still have alot of LP's though -- Linda Ronstadt, Poco, Jackson Browne, and of course -- the Eagles. They mostly collect dust but I'll hold on to them anyway.

    I voted for the cd for the sound, but the ipod is just so dang easy that's usually what I listen to.

    The LPs definitely make better collectibles. Even when I didn't have a turntable, I was buying albums as keepsakes.

    We have a stockpile of old vinyls, too. No way to play them, but we just can't let go of them! I keep thinking I'll buy a turntable, but never do!

    Just read through this old thread because I'm wanting Bob Seger's new album. I was wondering once again if I should do the digital download or get the cd.

    Do you all still feel the same way? Are cds still giving the best sound quality or has digital downloads improved?

    It depends what you want to do with it. The only time I play CDs now is when I'm in the car. If it isn't important enough for that then I only get it on iTunes. I have found on a couple of occasions though that I bought something on iTunes when I didn't have a hard copy (CD) and liked it so much I bought the CD later on. I even have a specific example - Abacab by Genesis.

    Not a fan of digital downloads.

    IMO if you want them on an iPod, rip the CDs into iTunes. It STILL sounds better than MP3s or iTunes downloads.

    Vinyl is the best though. But for portability CD's ripped into iTunes work great. And CD's are great for the car.

    There is also something to be said for having physical media you can hold in your hand.

    I agree with Austin. You can always rip CDs to MP3s if you want. Also, Amazon has a new service where they will automatically give you an MP3 download free if you buy the CD.
