Kids are different these days though, they don't mind mp3s and can listen to 96kbps rips all day, happy as hell. I'll never pay for a download, I need a cd I can put in my stereo.

I do the same..download as a means to check something out, and if its good, I'll buy it. I really feel the need to purchase quality music, because I feel bands or artists who are creating good work deserve to be paid for it. Also, to me a music collection is kind of an extension of who you are, I really like my CD collection and like to see what other people have.
However, as you mentioned, kids today are different. To them, music is something that is readily available, free, and dispensible. I really wonder if kids that are so used to downloading actually value music the way that many of us did growing up. Do they value listening to an entire album anymore?
