Plus, it feels good to support your favorite artists. It easy to just click a link and download something, but that doesn't give any support, and you don't get the feeling you get when you own a CD.

I feel the same way! I've tried to explain this very concept to my friends who think downloading a cd is better, but they don't get it. Like most other people in here though, I tend to buy cds with songs that I like, not just to say I have them. I'd like to become a full fledged collector, but I would never buy something I didn't like. For instance, I bought Mirrorcle World and I plan on buying Next Level, but I refused to waste my money on Days/GREEN since I didn't like the single. Not to mention being a broke college student definitely limits this.
