I haven't done any online music shopping so far, in this lifetime. I have CD's more than I can count and still I have a remainder of vinyls.

What seems to be an advantage, is the fact that you buy single songs.
I bought many albums in my life just because of 1 or 2 songs that I really had to have ... than again, original album releases sustain the test of time pretty well, meaning after years of owning a certain album, my taste or reception changed and I got to recognize the quality of other recordings on the same album.
