I've got to say that I'm the same way...

I've bought a couple albums from the iTMS, but it was right after I
went to a concert from that artist, so they already got the money from
that, and a couple singles, but they were exclusives, but for buying
other music, I still go down to Schoolkids...

No matter what, its nice to have a physical CD that I own and can put
my hands on, instead of just owning a chunk of data with nothing more
to it...
