Bit late to the party here (as ever) I still buy CDs - like this ione - and then I convert ot to digital. That means I can listen to it on my phone, computer, or tablet. My kids think that I am really old man to still buy CDs - they are all Apple, that is fine until you close your account and lose all of your music. I think that I am better off because I control my music - not Apple!!!!
