i tend to buy cds + t-shirts: i don't have itunes (linux); many on-line places don't sell abroad (http://www.portaldisc.cl http://www.portaldisc.cl is a big exception and i do buy a lot of local music there); and if you're getting the t-shirt delivered anyway... and when the cd arrives, i rip it. this is for bands i want to support (because they are awesome - currently waiting for a big parcel from the necks - or deserving - waiting for a smaller parcel from glorie). i've even bought cds when the download is free if it's a local band i want to support; then ripping can get better quality than the mp3 (bonus: you get to hang out at a random metro station until a scruffy youth wanders up and asks if you're the gringo wanting to buy his cd ;o).
