We all buy CDs some buy lots others not so much.
Where do you buy your CDs?

I buy around 99% on-line. The stores around here rarely carry the music I listen to, and if they do it costs a good bit more than on-line.

I basically by all of my CDs from HMV and if they don't carry it/ can't order it in I will try to get it through the band or specially order through another store

I would fit into the 99% online purchase as well. There is not a place near me to buy CDs except for Wal-Mart, and ours doesn't even discount new releases.

I probably get about 75% of my cds online.
The rest I get from local stores (both Christian and secular). The selection and availibility of on-line distributors is fantastic, but I still like to buy cds from real stores.

If it's a major release I usually buy it in a store. I have the family perks deal from Family Christian stores and every so often they send me there magazine. There is a coupon for buy 1 item get another 50% off, so I can usually get 2 cd's for under $20.

I get all my independent stuff online like thru CDBaby or the bands themselves

I probably buy around 90% online. Even though there is a Lifeway Christian Store close to home, I just like being able to open the mailbox and finding a new friend. Sure, there are some in-store deals that are too hard to turn away. Also, sometimes I discover a new band that I had not heard of in the stores.

Lifeway is just expensive. My director of missions here in my home county calls them "Priceway". Even with my 20% minister's discount, many online retailers are less expensive--and that's after you add S&H.

I buy 100% online, simple because we don't have a cool Christian music store that has all the music I like in stock.
So it's simpler for me to order my music online.
It's so nice to find new CDs in the maibox.

95% online stores

Fundy

Online stores if I have to. I try and buy any that I can locally though.
