Although I grew up in the 70s and 80s so have both vinyl and cds I have a real dislike of physical formats - much preferring to rip to PC and playback via USB to my Hifi. This is in part due to the storage issues that physical media creates and partly because I never actually listen to whole albums - much preferring to listen to music library on random or add a selection of albums to a playlist. That said I still do buy the odd CD but I have found that charity shops mainly sell the same old cr*p and the prices of used discs on eBay and Amazon etc has risen massively in the last few years.
I now tend to download albums from Bandcamp and add them to the library on my PC. That way you still own the music, you can either back up your library or download again if you lost it for any reason. Not everyone has space for loads of discs and vinyl cluttering up the place!
