My son has been building up a CD collection - often getting on 
polycarbonate what he'd already downloaded or got from friends - just 
because he wants the actual physical discs, and he seems to get lots of 
them for silly prices like a quid each (bought online and probably 
shipped back and forth halfway across the world to avoid manufacturers' 
price fixing and tax etc!).

Some of us <ahem!> just download 'em from torrents muttering "I already 
paid for the music on vinyl, don't see why I should pay for it again" 
:-) (Which is AIUI no more or less of a copyright violation than 
transcribing vinyl to digital or CD to cassette anyway.)

Of course as you say some aren't available on shiny round things.
