    Yep, bought d--- in April, grabbed Big Fish Theory last week. Planning to pick up Scum f--- Flower Boy on Friday.

    EDIT: I tend to keep them wrapped though. I might open SFFB to see the inside booklet. But basically all my physical purchases within the last 2 years I think I've kept wrapped because I tend to just download the itunes version. If the physical version has bonus tracks they usually surface eventually online.

    Double post but I agree. This is also while I'll still burn cd's. I burn the cd then put the burned copy in my car. Therefore if someone does break into my car and grabs my cd booklet they got all the burned copies and not my originals. Also cd does sound louder and more crisp than aux I agree.

    Mainly being for it to be half decent loud you have to turn your ipod/iphone's volume up. But in doing so for the auxillary cord it distorts the quality of sound. So if you want a half decent volume on a stock car you have to have your volume wheel at like 75% minimum and then pump your cars volume up for it to play a decent sound.

    While in a CD it's just crisp.

    I haven't bought any in awhile but I got about 30-40 (haven't counted in awhile). Half rock half hip hoo.

    I also got a good vinyl collection going.

    Yes, since the 90's. Last CD's that I've bought were: Big Boi- Boomiverse, Doppelgangaz- Dopp Hopp, Jay-Z- 4:44 and Prodigy- Hegelian Dialectic (which came out earlier this year but since his passing I wanted to get it). Also preordered Sean Price's Imperius Rex which drops next month. I also try to get the CD inserts signed when possible. I was able to get Dopp Hopp signed by asking Doppelgangaz via IG. I understand both arguments whether in favor or against buying CD's, I just prefer to buy CD's when possible. I'm not really a fan of spending money on a digital release unless it's a project that was strictly digital release or if I know the artist personally and I want to support them.

    Yeah, I buy them if I want to support the artist, really like the artist or it's a project tat I thought was really good. But, I also like physical releases because I'll ALWAYS have that album to rip on any computer or laptop. I mean you should back up your computer's harddrive but if you don't and you lose all that music (even if illegally downloaded) it's a pain to have to find again. When you just go to your shelf, grab the cd and rip it.
