How can you possibly be a Pink Floyd fan and not have the wall?
I would just go out and buy the whole album and rip it to whatever quality or format you want. |

I would say buy the CD and rip it so it is like the rest of your collection.
I hate having to convert flac, mp4, etc.. files before I can put them on a thumb drive to play in my car. Also, there is no downside to having a physical copy in case your itunes/computer are compromised. |

You must be the last person on the planet who doesn't own The Wall.
I would buy the CD and rip it to iTunes. That way you can still slip the CD into your car or home stereo w/o having to play it through your phone or iPod. |

Went to Amazon, I see they have the 2011 remastered CD and the Roger Waters 1990 Live in Berlin.
I'll probably go this remastered CD route. |

I've been a long time Pink Floyd fan but somehow this full album masterpiece has escaped my collection. I have every other Floyd album from Meddle-to-The Division Bell and this is the missing link. When it comes to Floyd, listening to the whole album is a MUST. So I've gone completely digital in my music- iTunes. Haters are gonna hate start your own iTunes thread if you want to fume. For the most part 90% of my music collection is CD's from the late 80s and 90s that I ripped to MP3s. Today with 3 kids running around the house I don't need more stuff or clutter so I tend to purchase and download items off iTunes as mentioned. So here is my dilemma: Do I buy the iTunes download of The Wall, or do I buy the CD and rip it? What other options do I have? Not going vinyl (although I have a friend who does vinyl and Dark Side of the Moon is pretty groovy that way). Is there enhanced or SCDD copies of The Wall I should get instead? BTW: Say "Project Pink" a Floyd tribute fan the other night in Dubuque, IA and was blown away! Check them out if you ever get the chance, they are based out of Green Bay and play a few shows a year in that part of the Midwest. The Wall is a sonic masterpiece…do yourself a favor and buy the highest quality version, which would be a CD. |

If you have some silly sentimentality to possess the compact disc complete with jacket and all that then buy the CD.
I have no use for stuff I have to keep somewhere. I buy everything digital. Most of the time, you're listening to it through computer speakers or headphones unless you're in the car. Digital just makes sense. ...then there's the cloud.

All depends on your 2 channel setup. If you spent 5K or more on speakers, amp, cd player and wire, buy the CD and enjoy. If not, get the itunes version you won't notice the quality difference.

Get the CD and rip it. That way you can create music files that are encoded lossless or if file space is an issue, much higher bit rates than iTunes offers. You also have the physical media as a backup or to play back on any CD player you choose.
Another thing to consider is that you can often order the CD from Amazon for less than the iTunes download. And most Amazon CD purchases include the mp3 version available for download immediately. |

OP if you buy Floyd in a lossy format I will kill a puppy. A remaster of today can be different from the original analog recording when the producer of the remaster messes with the mix and the overall recording. I want Tom Dowd strung up for ruining the Fillmore Sessions. 
If you take a look at Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs for example. In the original vinyl, Dowd mixed the bass in either the left or right channel. In the 1990 remix Dowd moved the bass to the center. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layla_and_Other_Assorted_Love_Songs In other words the remaster of today may not be faithful to the original recording of 1970. Mercifully I have a vinyl copy of Layla and Live at Fillmore East and they have been transferred to the hard drive with all their scratches and analog errors intact. |

Most Floyd heads realize that The Wall on CD and The Wall (The movie) have two different song lists....I have a CD called Pink Floyd "The Film", and it is the exact soundtrack from the movie....if you can find a copy of "The Film" , I would use that.
