That Friday buyday is a great thing to know,
However over in the video chat there's currently a good discussion physical media going on.
It's not just music but so much is moving toward the digital and I've had my issues and concerns. iTunes took back music on my devices.
AutoDesk CAD has shut down stand alone copies of CAD that users bought with keys. I agree entirely with Less is More, but there's some security in owing the media that I'm missing myself.
In this case, I think it's a different concern. When it's about having backup copies, using different services for backups, especially with cloud computing such as Amazon Web Services S3 Glacier (in case you're a company) might be a good option to consider.
When it's about music, I used to buy lots of CDs back in the day, however now I'm thinking about it a lot in terms of physical storage (considering that now I'm tending to have things tidied up as much as possible, and too much CDs can be a problem in keeping them in order), and tendencially today I buy a digital copy of the album over a physical one, albeit sometimes when I find occasions to buy CDs (for like a buck) why not getting a CD and ripping it into my cloud collection?
Another thing I have to say regarding Bandcamp: when you buy music there and create an account, you can re-download your purchases for free (and in any format: MP3, FLAC, OGG etc...) as they get added to your Bandcamp library.
This, however, doesn't work for free downloads (or when you offer 0 when it's allowed), in that case, I just store my free downloads using another cloudlocker service called iBroadcast.
