Itunes or Cds, the smartest purchase?


Hi there, i was buying lots of cps before from amazon, lately i have been getting them from iTunes on apple lossless format, cause aim on graduate school and certainly don't want cds on the move, in a foreign country, either mp3 or compress formats either....
the dilemma appeared when i start questioning myself if what aim doing is the smartest thing to do, i also record some Cds after, on good music Cd no data.
they sound great to my ears.
Advice about this before i buy to many, back home i have several hundreds on storage.
thanks you always.

I quit buying CDs about six months ago. I just don't have any place to store them any more. Every cabinet and shelf that I have is full of CDs. Well, I should qualify that. I do buy CDs, if what I want can't be found at a download site that offers downloads in lossless format. If I can download what I want, that's what I do.
What's more important, sound quality or convenience?

Do you shop on the interior of the grocery store where all of the packaged processed food is, or do you purchase from the outer rows, and purchase the fresh meats and produce?
I really don't think that the choice has much to do with sound quality, although convenience certainly may have at least something to do with it.

As far as quality goes, there are quite a few sites that sell high quality downloads that at least equal CD quality. I've had good results with the stuff that I've downloaded from places like HDTracks.
