So long, CDs?

This is pretty much how I feel too. Downloading and playing an album isn't even a shadow of the experience of going to a store, holding the new album in your hands, opening it up, and putting it into your stereo for the first time... while eagerly looking over the album notes and pictures. I find downloading to be dull and even nerve wracking. I had to pay for & download Lindsey's new album twice because something went wrong. I've heard far too many stories of people losing all their mp3s because of iTunes flukes and such. I'll never leave my music collection to the whimsy of electronic equipment. I'm holding onto buying cd's until no more cd's are made. Which unfortunately, will probably be within the next 5-10 years.
