I said 2007. I was still using the radio a lot mixed with some online content (though downloads were slow with my computer), but I was burning CDs until then.

For artists I really really like, i still get the actual CD (or LP, if its the same price or cheaper than the CD) because I like supporting the artist and like having the physical thing, and I don't mind paying as much. With stuff that Im just "eh" on, I download.

That being said, I don't really listen to my CDs much anymore, I usually just plug my ipod into the stereo (got my first ipod in late 2005 as a christmas present, I think...maybe early 2006). I still like having them though. I still listen to my vinyl because my turntable is old and so it doesn't have a USB.

Definitely before 2000.

I'm pretty much the same as Shiv. I personally still prefer buying CDs than downloading MP3s, especially for artists that I like. I love being able to have a physical copy in my hand. I only download MP3s when I only like a few songs from an artist. I didn't really start downloading MP3s 'til I got my first iPod in the spring of 2007. Otherwise before then, I would always bring my CDs and CD player to school. I was probably the last person to do that when I was in high school.

I used to burn CDs regularly in the first half of the decade, back in the day in '02 I had a MP3 CD player and I could put like 150 songs on a CD. I first got an iPod in 2005 and hardly ever burn cds these days. Now I have a smartphone and use that for music and sold my old iPod video a while back.

I think it was definitely after 2001,I got my first cell phone.

I started collecting around 1999 but didn't bother to rip my CD collection until 2000.  That's when I made the full switch and the collection just exploded.

I still like buying cds for the most part. Although like most said I don't really listen to the cd a lot but just sync the songs to my I-Tunes. I've only bought a couple of digital songs and one digital album for charity. I think the reason I still buy the cds is because i'm a sucker for looking at the packaging and artwork that is in it.

My bro has an iPod, but he doesn't like half the stuff I listen to, so I'm still using CDs till I can get an iPod.

I download mp3s almost on a daily basis, but I never fully switched.  I will still buy CDs. 

I am anxiously awaiting the new White Lies CD.

I started downloading mp3s in late 2006, but most of my music became digital in late 2007 when i got my first mp3 player. Now, pretty much 85% of the music that i've gotten within the past year has been digital. I only really buy the actual cd if its cheaper than buying the whole mp3 album or if the album that i want is conveniently in the store that i'd be at atm

I started downloading mp3s in 2003, but I burn most everything to CD.  I still listen to CDs in the car; predominanty continuous-mixed CDs that I put together.

In 2003, my family and I got our first iPod. The next year, for my 14th birthday, I got my own iPod. I haven't looked back since  8).

I don't have an Ipod yet,I'm still old school. :-[

I started the transition in 2004 but it wasn't fully completed until 2009 (I still burned cds to listen to in the car, etc).  Now I have an iphone which has all of my music so there isn't really a need for CDs anymore.

I remember seeing some mp3s players in High School around 2003, I thought man those are cool. However I still used a CD walkman at the time. I was saving money to live in Brazil for a year, which I did from 2004-2005. When I got back to the U.S.A. in May of 2005, my sister had bought an iPod mini. I was blown away. I'd never heard of the iPod till then. I immediately bought one myself. I still listened to CDs in my car as those FM transmitters were crap back then. In 2008 I got a new car that had an aux port for my mp3. 2010 was a big year for me though, as I discovered Pandora and got an iPhone. Combine those two things with a pinch of Youtube and I'm all digital all the time now, and I love it!

I got my I-pod in 2007. It was a silver one.

What kind of music do you have on it?

What kind of music do you have on it?


Rock, VERY LITTLE rap and hip hop, dance, 80's, 90's adult contemporary.

I don't have any idea how much of the music I'm playing is digital. Because I still want to have all music I like on cd. Playing all my music (only) digitally feels cold to me, I'm and artwork lover, and I'm afraid of a computer and/or external hard disc crash.

I've got a mp3 player since 2004 but I'm not very addicted to it, and still listen a lot to fm radio in the bus or train. Because I think only playing music I already know is quite boring. But new and very important last year: My portable internet radio, to make discovering new/unknown music a lot easier. I like internet radio very much. So, beside my cds, I've listened also much music in a digital way, last year.

But more than 50 %? I don't know.
