Do you still buy music CDs?

I saw this thread floating around somewhere else so I thought I'd post it here.

I still occassionally buy music CDs when the artist does not provide vinyl of the release, or when I just want to enjoy it in the car. But I'm curious how many others still buy music CDs from artists. Do you? Or do you just stick to mp3/FLAC from the internet?

not really, I do buy some albums from some artists who have a band camp if they are cheap enough or not torrent-ed with a bunch of local bands is hard to find.

I have imported a staggering number of discs on my 4K BD drive and it still works fine.

I use iTunes, ALAC with error correction enabled. ALAC can be converted too FLAC or other container as desired.

I suggest a giant hard disk for sharing audio so that those who want something can grab it.

I've given up on purchasing CDs after paying outrageous money to see my favorite musicians in concert. IMHO the entire music scene has been corrupted by the never satisfied greed of everyone in the industry.  For example, in the USA it's all but impossible to purchase concert tickets directly from the venue.  In all but a very few instances concert tickets must be bought from one of the various third party ticket vendors such as "Stubhub".

No, I haven't bought CD for a long time
