I own about 150-170 cds... Been buying a lot lately so i dont have an official count... I still buy cds as opposed to downloading them for the same reason as Hylas said... If you dont buy the cds there will eventually be none... then the artists cant make $$ and its all over. I will download or listen to burns to see if i like something then i buy it.... I enjoy throwing my support behind artists that inspire me and i want them to make more music so that is why i still buy. It may seem nieve but hey... my 16 bucks a cd counts somewheres
