It made more sense to me just to buy the digital download from iTunes.  I can buy the download for almost half the cost, if not more, than what the retail outlets sell them for.  A big plus, at least for me, was, at least I didn't have all that crap that came with the CD, it was excess junk and waste of paper.

Frankly the whole of the "recording industry" can go to hell for all I care; they've been robbing people (both consumers and artists alike) blind for far too long and simply cease to be relevant in the modern age.<br><br>As an aside, I have to laugh at the motion of "all the excess junk that comes with a CD". I like my CDs, all all that comes with them. Thankfully I am sure most of the artists I am fond of would be pretty much totally unaffected by any of this junk; I doubt their sales were even included in the figures.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[drktranquillity]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 18th 2009 9:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Overall Music Sales Drastically Slipping, Says Report]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/18/overall-music-sales-drastically-slipping-says-report/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/18/overall-music-sales-drastically-slipping-says-report/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't need CDs or space wasting MP3s.
