    For me it depends on whether I’m getting the music to listen to or to dj with. If it’s an artist that I’ve always enjoyed and that I’ll want to listen to, I’ll pick up the CD, both in order to have the full album as well as to have a physical copy (I’ve always preferred to have something tangible). CDs always pay off for me when they’re of artists I really admire, especially because they’re the artists that have made their albums to be listened to in their entirety–placing the tracks in the correct order (or mixing them all together) so that it really takes you on a journey.
    Otherwise, if I’m looking for or really like just a few tracks that happen to be on the same album, I won’t usually spring for the CD, I’ll just go pick up the individual mp3s.

    CD or better yet vinyl if its an album just for listening. I’m travelling and have been for some years so carrying CDs doesnt work for me now. Its all about whqat can fit on my macbook or my ipod.

    As an audiophile and bedroom DJ I prefer digital for crankability, mixing, effects and variety. But for really enjoying highs and lows at a comfortable listening level nothing beats a reference CD player, high power amps and some floor standing monitors. There are some great singles that aren’t on an album, so if it’s good enough I’ll buy a WAV file.
    If you like CD’s Ministry Of Sound is still selling great CD’s.

    When it comes to DJing, it depends on what equipment is available for me at the venue. If there are CDJs, I’ll use those, if not, I’ll stick to my controller with 320s. But when it comes to listening for sheer enjoyment, you can’t beat a good old-fashioned vinyl record, in my opinion.

    As a bit of a minimalist, it’s digital all the way for me.
