Same here.  I subscribe to emusic on the 90 download per month plan, and I
use it to discover much more music than I otherwise would.  When I find
something I really like, I buy the CD, to have the higher quality.

Eh, maybe, but with the internet there are so many more ways to
discover music these days, and so much more potential for small bands
to get recognition that I don't think the loss of album-based music
discovery is all that lamentable.  Internet radio and services like
Rhapsody definitely have me exploring the far end of the "long tail"
much more than I would ever be if I could only listen to FM radio or
spend my hard-earned money on albums.
