Having real albums is definitely awesome. I wish I had thought about it a long time ago before I got a bunch of those crappy CD book-cases and chucked all my jewel cases.
When I'm in my late years, I won't even have a decently preserved collection of CD's and their original cases, which will probably, by then, be as records are to us now.
There's just something tangible about CD albums you can have pride in and that can't be lost like MP3's due to hard-drive failures.
