the thing is, it takes as long to go to the record store, look around, pay, and come home as it does to download and burn an album, and it takes even less time to download if you don't want every track on that album. so, even if cd's were free at stores, there'd *still* be a cost advantage to downloading them: gasoline or other transportation costs.
on the other hand, if a record store was giving away free cd's, i'd drive a long time to get there... perhaps it's the fact that i'd actually have something to hold in my hands. i like that. that's why i'm a bit scared of the (apparently) coming death of the cd: free music on the computer is nice, but it almost seems like an illusion, that i don't really have that music.
