"Streaming is the way of the future" or so they say. I prefer actually having the files, since that means complete albums (even obscure ones), at higher-than-streaming quality.

To talk back, CD's are digital. xD
I listen through my PC too, but I have 99% of it all as CD. Reasons are that I don't like to pay for a file only and the fact is that very little amount of good music is available as lossless downloads.
EDIT: Streaming is the last option. There is absolutely no sense in that when it comes to music you're listening often.

If you go through legal routes that is.
A lot of obscure music is more easily available for free download (in FLAC), than it is for purchase.

Well, I go to work and I pay for my food, gasoline, clothes etc, why would I steal music? = /
That also depends, most of my favorite albums are not available as lossless anywhere.

Erm yes, the legal route
.
I bought my last CD about 8 years ago, go figure.
I wouldn't say I listen to obscure music, and I have a habit of taking only a few songs that I like from an album (unless it is an awesome album where all songs are awesome, which is relatively rare for me). So buying CDs to get only a few songs at a time is wasteful for me.

Don't want to step on any toes here, but I stream all my music. It's not "lossless" unless it's analogue lol so anything that is not going on my turntable is going to be streamed through sonos. Had a transport, but couldn't discern a difference between it and my sonos and it's a hell of a lot easier just to stream the music through MOG or Rhapsody then going out to buy some overpriced cds.

"Oh my, I just paid 1000$ for a pair of headphones! But, now I can't afford to BUY MUSIC?! Oh well, why should I support the artists, I listen to the GEAR anyway."
Sorry, does not make sense.

You could argue that it easier to steal purses than it is to go to a bank. There are a lot more people with purses than there are banks, and the people come walk by you, you have to bother yourself and walk or drive to a bank. Taking money from people that walk past you is much more convenient and economic....

Oh I'm certainly not endorsing that you steal any music, I pay a monthly subscription fee some of which goes back to the artists themselves, it's just more economical than buying cds. Just because I have a $1000 dollars to spend on headphones doesn't mean I should spend another $1000 on music...especially when I can get $1,000,000 worth of music for $10 a month.

I wasn't even debating the ethics of music piracy, I was just stating that in my experience a lot of rare stuff is more easily available for illegal download than it is for purchase. Gosh.
With hindsight it was stupid even posting that, since I could expect this thread to derail because of it.
