I buy physical albums and digital downloads to support the artist directly , and I rip cds still. If I'm going to pay money for music, it's going to the artist as much as possible, not the company that lives off of those artists' backs and pays them a pittance.
Spotify is a useful tool that I occasionally use to find new bands. Nothing more.
I also appreciate those rare occasions where I can sit down with an lp and look over the lyrics and art.
