I buy albums all the time, both used and new releases. I probably buy slightly more than DL these days.

The value of owning it has a few importance's for me.
- I don't get to go to many shows at all, and so I use that as my way to support the artists I like.
- Buying something makes me much more inclined to give it multiple listens. I used to do the whole e-collection thing, DL'ing 10 albums a day on demonoid, and trying to listen to everything. Then I realized I wasn't even listening to some of it, and even the stuff I enjoyed would only get one play. It got boring. I basically just find myself caring a lot more, and looking around at reviews online as I listen to it, to see what others think.
- I also really enjoy the experience of looking through every booklet while ripping the disc to flac on my machine.
