I wrote a bit recently about why I still collect music on CDs. Here are my 3 reasons, which echo a lot of the comments:
1. To Support the Artist, 2. To Own the Music, 3. To Collect Artifacts (which is fun)
I also found a few recent attempts at creating new physical music formats, but most of them require Internet connectivity and are essentially cloud services that have physical access tokens :( I ended up just lamenting that we never got the Sony MiniDisc revolution that we all deserved.
