I use both these days, but it's bloody rare I'd buy digital media - the costs are usually laughable, and that HDD crash is always only just around the corner :lol: :oops:

64% of Brits have no clue about their native language (and a wide variety of other subjects). Perhaps that's a more accurate headline?

Exactly I have my ripped all my CD's and if there were a hard disk failure I would have a big job re ripping them, but I would have practically everything ready to reinstall.

64% of Brits still read the Sun

CD's are the best of both worlds, same or cheaper cost, a backup in itself, better quality and you can sell it on too. (obviously you'd wipe the ripped content before selling it on) ;)

Add in the fact that artists get a better deal from CD's than many online options.
