No, it's not ruining music. I've got an ipod and while I still like to take it to the gym and on trips, I don't much listen to it in the car anymore. I still buy CDs like I always have, and listen to them in the car.

As far as downloading music via itunes to the ipod, my biggest beef is that many of the songs/albums I like/want, aren't available on the US itunes store, but are on the UK itunes store. Since I live in the US, I can't purchase songs/vids/albums from the UK store. (I like a lot of obscure British music--obscure in the US anyway) So I'm still forced to go to Amazon.co.uk or ebay to get my CDs, as none of the local CD stores have them...
