CD'S vs Digital downloads

I tend to buy albums on CD. Since first getting Itunes installed just over a year ago, I have only downloaded two complete albums. I mainly use Itunes for acquiring individual songs or partial albums. I suppose I am still attached to CDs. Pehaps one of the reasons for this is that they are more "social". Albums can be a talking point for visitors if they're displayed on a shelf or rack, but not if they're hidden away on your hard drive.
