The first question is referring solely to music that belongs, in some way, to you. Something where you get a file out of it. Things like iTunes, Amazon MP3, eMusic, etc.
In my case I guess it was more that my switch to MP3s happened when I realised I hadn't even opened my box of CDs in over a year, and my switch to Spotify happened when I realised that I only listened to my MP3 collection when I was listening to music in the living room or kitchen (where I had music things set up that didn't support Spotify).
See, I sometimes listen to some sorts of music where you really ought to listen to a whole album. And when you do that, it's nice to be able to put on a CD and just play it from beginning to end. That's generally when I pull CDs out, and it's the sort of CDs I now tend to buy - indeed, when I do download that sort of album I'm likely to burn it to audio CD for that purpose.
All of my Spotify playlists, apart from maybe two, are albums (albeit a few of them have tracks I don't like removed from them). Listening to albums beginning to end is how I listen to music most of the time.
