Because there is not much advantage to digital music. I can play a CD natively in my car, or any car. I can play it on my iPod, I can play it in Linux. I can back it up for later, but I still have the artwork. With digital downloads, I have to burn them onto a CD, label the CD, and probably rip some DRM off it to work with non-iTunes players. For CDs the only hard part is buying them. Sometimes I can't find the bands I like at my local store, but it is a decent independent record shop so it has a good selection and I like supporting them. If I go to a show, I make sure I buy the CD there. If I can't find it at either place Amazon is cheap enough and it gets delivered to my mailbox. I guess the only advantage is being able to buy songs a la carte, but thats not how I personally listen to music. Sometimes I buy a CD and had a bunch of the tracks and first, and a month later those are the ones I love. How can you tell that from a sample? So I just buy the whole thing anyway. Not everything new is better.
