I would rather have the CD,, however, now with downloading, i find that it's more convienant and ALOT cheaper than buying cds. Sure, having the actual cd means more to me , especially if you have a rare cd, but the fact is that technology is changing and we have to accept the fact that the vast majority of people will download. Heck!! you care about the art work? now you can purchase the same paper that makes the art work for cds and copy and print and use that for your collection.

Will cds be absolete one day? maybe, just like cassettes and for the most part vynal records, CDS will dwindle down to just a handfull of people that will appreciate the meaning of having the actual cd.

the bottom line, if you find yourself never listening to your cds, then it may make sense to sell or stack away your cds.
