While at TAVES yesterday, I noticed that quite a few rooms were using computer files for music playback, and of course, other rooms were using turntables - come to think about it, I did not notice a great deal of CD players. I could not help but wonder if a change in media demographics is slowly underway - the CDs that I purchased today were from an individual who loaded his entire music collection into his computer.

So what are your listening format percentages?

In my situation, 80% would be CDs while approximately 20% would be iPod based during my daily commute.

Be well...

In my main room it is 85% records and 15% streamed digital or SACDs.

In my office where I use headphones 70% of the time it is 100% streamed digital.

I have almost all of my favorites loaded on Thumb drives which I plug into the BDP-1, I estimate 90% listening. The remaining 10% would be cd, dvd, sacd which I would use the Blu-ray or sacd player.

 I prefer using my computer drive if the disk will play as I like using VLC media player (better mid-range sound) and I can control the computer volume output thereby keeping the pre-amp from clipping.

All of my listening is done by iPod or Macbook.  I have a turntable and lots of
albums, but it isn't very convenient and I like to move about the house and
not worry leaving a record playing.  The quality is acceptable although I
wish it was better.  The iPod goes with me in the car and I can keep on
groovin'.  I even have a battery operated T-amp that I take to work on
certain occasions.  With my iPod and my pair of A/D/S L300c or JBL Control
One speakers I can groove for another 6 or more hours. 

I must admit I was an analogue fanatic up until around 2010.  The resolution
got better and I decided I'd rather listen to my music as much as possible
rather than limit myself to small sessions of listening time.  Just my $0.02.

My nephew is content with youtube as his main music source.  That one caught me off guard, but probably an easy way to share music.

I've noticed the big-box stores reduce their floorspace drastically over the last year for CDs, maybe this will help bring back a few local music stores.
