I still purchase music in stores, be it new releases or used releases. Just the excitement of finding a rare release in the used bins is more my style than any digital download could give me.

My sentiments exactly. There's just something so fulfilling about going into a music store and finding that CD single you've been looking around for forever, or getting that new CD that you've been wanting to hear all day. Even though I rip the CD right to my iPod right when I get home, I still prefer to have it.
