CDs vs mp3s, Whaich do you prefer? Options

[unitself]

What format do you like your music in? Do you prefer to buy CD's from your favorite music store or do you prefer to download mp3? Tell us why?
Me? Thanks for asking.
I still prefer to buy my CDs. I like to have something I can hold on to, open up and see some artwork or read liner notes / lyrics / photos / whatever. I do, however, mp3 the disc when I get to work though so I can listen via my computer. I bothers me that I don't actually own anything when I download an mp3. I've had a few hard drives crash on my and lost all of my collection before. So, I am bit weary of only having an mp3 version of a song.
Maybe it's the same reason I like to read magazines instead of simply reading off of a website. I just like having the physical object to hold.

No, I don't own an iPod. Yes, I do have a crappy portable CD player.

CDs > mp3s I'll tell you why.

I had an mp3 player a long time ago and I didn't like having to go back to the computer all the time to switch the songs out. I like having CDs so I can just open up my case, take my cd out of my CD player and put back in the case, then get another cd out of the case and put it back into my CD player. Plus it depends on the mood I am in I may just switch out a bunch of CDs to listen to different songs. Most of the time I like to buy CDs from the store just to have the real thing and like unit said, to have the lyrics and pictures and whatever. Although if a friend of mine has a CD I want I will just burn it.
