I can't remember when I last bought vinyl or cassette (haven't joined the vinyl revolution and the only point of a cassette was to play music in a car so they are totally irrelevant now).
Last CD I bought was the Magenta 20th anniversary CD/DVD, a couple of weeks ago.

I still buy CDs online all the time; the last one I bought was Steve Vai's Passion & Warfare because I misplaced my original copy.
I couldn't tell you the last disc I actually purchased in a store, though. Probably a Weather Report disc or something, lol. Maybe Miles Davis at a local shop downtown a few years back.

I've never bought music online and the last CD I bought was "Rush - Grace Under Pressure" from a charity shop for the bargain price of £1.

I've never bought a pre-recorded tape cassette, at least not for myself. I think I bought a Chris De Burgh album for my mum on cassette, Christmas 1986.
The last CD I bought - I think - was Royal Blood's 'How did we get so Dark?' The last vinyl I bought was Wasp Star: Apple Venus Vol 2 by XTC |

It's one of only two prog albums I've ever bought from a charity shop - the other one being "Genesis - Wind & Wuthering". It makes a nice change from the usual cheap selection of throwaway CD's by boy bands and Pop Idol/X-Factor contestants, not to mention the ubiquitous Corrs and Simply Red CD's which no one seems to want.

It is indeed. I bought my original vinyl copy of Signals from the local chemist, back in about 1986 for £2. I thought I'd done well at the time. |

Last CD bought, absolutely don't remember. Probably a used CD for a buck or two, I get CDs in LPs sometimes, but don't buy those on purpose.
Cassettes, I have not bought one in 30 years. I have probably 3-4 carrying/storage cases of cassettes in a closet somewhere. Probably 300 or so tapes......I have been thinking of buying a tape deck. LPs I buy all the time, recent ones: Art Blakey~Witch Doctor, FreeForAll and Moanin' Miles Davis~KoB UHQR Transatlantic~3 PF~Meddle and Live at Knebworth 1990 Brand X~Unorthodox Behaviour Kansas~Monolith Marillion~Clutching At Straws |

Bought a used remastered CD of Crime of the Century at a used record/CD/DVD store in West L.A. called Record Surplus. MP3 and vinyl just don't appeal to me for whatever reason.

Just yesterday I ordered CD versions of UK's self-titled debut and Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kömmandöh on Discogs. Additionally I went to a record store for the first time in over a year last week and bought The Beach Boys's "Pet Sounds" and Radiohead's "Amnesiac" (also on CD). Also last week I ordered a cassette of Dani Lee Pearce's "For As Briefly As I Live" on Bandcamp, which I think is the first cassette I've ever bought in my life. I don't plan to make a habit of buying them, but this is the only physical release from an artist who's meant a lot to me over the years so I felt compelled to own it. I do not own any vinyl. Maybe one day I'll concede and start collecting that too but for the moment financial and spatial concerns are holding me back on that front.

Last CD bought was Transatlantic's latest The Absolute Universe: Forevermore, earlier this year.
Last vinyl was ages ago, it was probably Wishbone Ash's Here To Hear around the late 1980s. I didn't buy many pre recorded cassettes, though I used to buy blank ones and record records borrowed from friends or the library
 the last one I bought was probably Queen's A Day At The Races when it was released. |

Not very impressed, but I can't complain for just £1.

The last CD I bought was last week: Už jsme doma - Uprostřed slov (got an e-mail this morning that it was shipped today - yay!)
The last cassette was probably in 1994 - can't remember what it was. The last vinyl record was probably in 1989? - can't remember what is was.
