I used to love going to Best Buy to load up on CDs. MP3s are cool and all for the convenience factor, but there was something fun about going to a record shop and just browsing around.

Agreed. I still buy everything on CD then I rip it. There's just something about owning the physical media...

And the quality is still better. 320kbps MP3's are pretty good, hard to notice loss of quality in the car or on earbuds but on my home stereo it's still easy to tell the drop in quality. I still don't understand why FLAC hasn't become the standard for online music today. There are no bandwidth or storage limitations anymore. Apple sells hi-def video files that are orders of magnitude larger than music tracks but still refuses to sell lossless music. It makes no sense.
