Same here.  There's not much audio-wise that I find worth it.  I think 
the last music CDs we purchased were the complete LOTR soundtrack discs.

Answer to both questions in the parenthetical is "yes". :-)  This is 
something where I'm OK with re-buying the content, because I'm paying for 
the improved quality.  Same thing with buying CDs to replace cassettes.  
But buying MP3s to replace CDs?  No, I'll rip 'em myself, thanks.
