CD's or MP3's ?

A question I have been meaning to ask as many people as I can: CD's or Mp3's?

Do you listen to your music on an ipod or on the silver discs? Personally I hear the difference and the CD quality (as we know) is better, but plugging in an ipod and letting your music play till you're ready to turn it off has a great appeal.

I still listen to CD's in the car but in the house or my studio its MP3's. I have ripped as many of my CD's as possible onto my ipod. Its like keeping your VHS tapes and slowly converting them.

I have bought two CD's in the last year on impulse but I mostly download singles on itunes....

I don't listen to the radio except sometimes in the car. Most of the new music I buy is from TV soundtracks, like from True Blood or in one case Doll House.

How about you?

I listen to both, I use an ipod when out walking with my dogs, but its got to be with a small set of headphones I don't really like earplugs. At home I listen to CD's through Cyrus CD /amp and a pair of PMC speakers, I also play the ipod through these.
I always buy CD's. I've got nothing against downloading music but I've never got around to it, overall I prefer CDs, but I'm also thinking of buying a turntable
