Agreed Travis. I actually am starting to do that now. I am awaiting shipment on three CDs from an amazon.com retailer now:
Item Title Shipped
Qty
LP3 [Audio CD] Ratatat 1
New Chance [Import] [Audio CD] Tough Alliance 1
No Way Down [Import] [Audio CD] Air France 1
I even bought a CD shelf to store them. The annoying thing is I that I often find the music I like on blogs/etc and because it is soo easy to pirate it in FLAC immediately I often do that. I did that for The Tough Alliance CD above, even though I bought it also. I just wanted to listen to it at my earliest convenience, not when the media shipped. I suppose what would be ideal is if I could get FLAC legitimately *AND* the CD, or at the least just FLAC legally.
But I agree, CDs are still the best. You get a physical backup, something to hold, liner info/art and you can convert the uncompressed WAV to any format desired.

I love seeing these badges on my profile. It gives incentive to participation. I like the implementation you have chosen so far.
