I always buy factory-pressed, original, silver CD. I own more than 400. They sound much better in my home stereo, and mostly even in my car. I have an Ipod as well, but only dowload-to-try before purchasing the actual CD, or some tunes that I don't think are worth my money. I know I can do "the lossless thing" with dowloads, but why take the bother when I can just purchase the cd online for a very good price?
