Yup, I've actually gotten in the habit of buying certain songs/singles on iTunes now for those cases where I don't need to collect the actual discs. But it is interesting to note that whereas the average price for a song on iTunes in the U.S. is $1.29 (sometimes $0.99 or less), the usual single song price in Japan is 250 yen (which is just over $3). As with anime BDs/DVDs, music CD singles often now come in limited editions that include special packaging, bonus music video DVDs, etc. So I think they're moving towards discs being collectors items, and digital purchases being the lower-priced tier.
