Hmmm - the problem is downloads in my mind still cost too much. When you consider how little it actually costs record companies to distribute an MP3 album vs a CD, it's not terribly cheaper.

In fact I'm finding at the moment it's typically cheaper to buy an album second hand on Amazon marketplace and have it mailed to me than buy the download. That seems wrong - and hey record companies get zip from second hand sales.
