Thoughts?

$10 - I always think an album is worth $10.

Not all albums...

Like others, I prefer buying the CD, lossless, all the artwork/liner
notes. If I'm buying an mp3 album, no way am I paying more than $5.

CDs are hardly lossless,

Yes, they are. They are provably lossless.

and an MP3 at 256k or better is
indistinguishable from a CD by your ears. The difference can be
measured, but it is too small a difference for you to detect, no
matter how discerning you think you are. The equipment you use to
listen is a FAR bigger factor. So is ambient noise, even in a very
quiet room.
