(Yes I still buy cds, I don't download or burn).
and i thought i was the only one
You're definitely not the only ones. Let's see:
Option 1: downloads
slightly lower sound quality
no cool artwork or booklet
no physical product, if you lose the file, you've lost the song
often Digital Rights Managed
Option 2: CD
uncompressed PCM sound quality, which you can convert to MP3 if you like - your choice
cool pictures and disc art
something you can be proud to have on the shelf
play it, copy it, as many times as you like, wherever you like
No contest - physical media for the win.
