    I buy 95% of my stuff digitally. I much prefer the ease of just going onto Beatport or Audiojelly and paying my £1.49 and getting my hands on a tune in a couple of minutes.

    When I was growing up, I never had decks and I just wasn't really that interested in buying vinyl, something that I now really regret, but for the last 15 years, I've just been collecting CD's obssesively. I just love using CD decks cause of all the functions and features that they offer.

    Just out of interest, I was wondering if any of you lot buy your digital downloads in WAV format. I know Beatport has just recently started offering their music in WAV files, and they aren't too expensive either, but personally, I just settle for 320kb MP3s.
    I know that most DJ's just don't fell that MP3's are good enough in quality but I've put lot's of CD's together with tunes that I've ripped onto my computer and I actually struggle to notice any real difference from the 320kb MP3's and the original version on CD.

    I've bought stuff in FLAC format a few times.

    320kbps mp3 does the job though.
