Yup - likewise. I buy my music on CD.

Getting a less compressed recording is one reason. Getting something physical... sometimes something that is a nice piece of artwork... is the other reason.

Still own a bit of vinyl but no longer have a player for it.

Once the law is finally, formally amended here, regarding format shifting, I will be legally permitted to copy all my CDs into iTunes... which I will do using the lossless codec... which I think gives me a fair compromise between retaining range and gaining some file size reduction ;)
