CDs are clunky and outdated... first think I do when I buy one is rip to mp3, since that's the only format I'll be listening to it in, anyway.
I do download plenty of stuff off Kazaa too, but if more stuff was offered in mp3 format online, I'd buy a lot more of the music I listen to.
Also, the internet presents artists with a chance to break away from a system where they get like $2-3 for that $20 CD. Not many are embracing it yet, but I think it's promising for the future.
