I believe in owning music I love so I can listen to them years and years down the track, and would try to cut down what I have to spend on other stuff (eg. eating out) just so I have an extra buck to spend on music.
I just don't trust mp3s and CD-Rs. They're so easily mis-placed. (Or wiped out by various and terrible computer mishaps.)
I buy plenty of old CDs, in fact most of what I've brought this year are records released well over a year ago. I think buying old CDs is pretty standard for most music lovers.
I'm trying to cut down the number of CDs I buy at the moment (most of them old), especially since after working. But I worry about things going out of print or out of stock, especially if the artist question isn't very well known and not that many copies were pressed. (Out of print thing doesn't seem to apply to English artists though)
I'm all for mp3s if it's strictly for evaluating purposes or if there's only one or two good tracks on an album.
