I prefer buying physical media.

When CDs were everywhere, getting them was easy and
prices more competitive.
The last CD I wanted I had to order from Germany and the company really took far too much for the shipping.
(€ 15)
Once it arrived in Norway (ECC, not EU) I had to pay taxes on top of it.
Media downloads from the artist is good in that I get to direct the money directly (or at least a direct as I can) to the artist (I guess most companies in that space take a cut)
But they are easy to forget, easy to delete etc.
CDs are harder to throw out accidently.
- wwn_se 5y agoYou are just old ;) I have not lost a file in 10years. I have a NAS with backup to the cloud, nothing fancy just a single drive NAS with automatic rolling backups. Important files go to multiple clouds.
- ThinkBeat 5y agoyupp. Both old and stubborn admit it. There does seem to be an increasing interest in physical mediums. Or perhaps that fad has faded already. I know some of the younger guys at work have started collecting vinyl. For a short period, it seemed like cassettes were hip too. I have no idea if that ever got going.
