CD's
I'll always buy CDs. Love being able to hold the physical disc in my hand. I really don't use them very often but I love seeing them on my shelf. 
Plus with amazon, half the the time the CD will be cheaper than the download and they'll give you the digital version to download automatically with their new autorip feature.

I haven't bought one in years that I can remember.
I used to be an audiophile and enjoyed the sound from a quality CD player connected to my home stereo. But here in the last year I finally removed the CD player when it broke.
The wife still buys them. But she buys stuff I don't listen to much.

We still buy an occasional CD (or the rights to download the MP3s), but all of it ends up on our server hard drive where we can listen to it easily without having to get up to change discs. The whole collection is on my thumb drive in my Mustang, so I could drive back and forth across country more than three times without listening to the same track twice.

I use a 300cd changer in the house (love random play) for quality sound, and burn copies for what I may want in the car.
I don't know that I'm an audiophile exactly, but I have a wall of tube amps so I love clarity, and cd's do sound better than mp3's.
However, burning a custom playlist is a pain in the ***. Geez, I first load the cd's onto my hd, then I have to make a playlist from those files to the temp playlist file, then I have to gauge whether I'm filling a cd or not, then burn it. That part is a pain.

I put all the CDs back in their cases and put them in a drawer in the TV room

I use them occasionally when I want to listen to a playlist I haven't heard in a while or something of that nature, but I can't remember the last time I bought a CD.
