No CD's, DVD's, or Blueray's in my home.
My entire collection is on a SAN and streamed by Plex Media Server.
For music, I choose FLAC as the format as it is lossless. MP3 is unacceptable for me when using good headphones. I do not buy "mp3" versions because the quality / bitrate is complete crap and un-listenable.
The other benefit of Plex is that anyone in the household can listen or watch anything in the collection, on a multitude of devices, any time they want. Kids can even listen to music while on sleep-overs at another house, via VPN into the Plex server.
Took me years to encode all the media, though.
Short answer: FLAC.

I buy CD's at garage sales or thrift stores for $1.00. I get an entire CD for less than one online song, then rip them to FLAC or MP3 for use on my home media server. then I can stream, or copy to any device.

Yeah, 15 years ago, when storage was more costly for me, I ripped everything to WMA 160kbs.
Now with FLAC I am "future proof" and will never have to repeat that work.

I buy CDs and rip them to 16/44.1 FLAC files. It's handy to have the CD as a backup in case I lose some files. I never listen to Songs, only Albums, so if albums were available in a 24/192 loss-less format, I would probably buy them in that format, but would miss the packaging/liner notes from special editions.
Now if there were only some good software for organizing music that accounts for albums, different editions, composers, orchestras, then I would be happy.

Recently bought an old Styx album at Amazon.
I'm a Prime member so they shipped it to me free.
The CD was only $5.99 and they also make the music available for listening instantly via Prime Music which is really cool. Best of both worlds (CD and MP3).
And you can directly download the MP3 content to your computer and burn a CD if you want while you're waiting for the other to arrive. 
Very cool.
Wow, check it out the CD and MP3 instant listen are availabe for only $4.99 now.

I have some, but only because my car has no aux.
Actually I don't use them.. but I still have them for that reason

My wife does.
She hangs them on berry plants/shrubs, to scare the birds away.

I do. I then rip them to MP3, and play them on any device from my laptop to my car's "entertainment centre". It's the only way to (a) buy music legally, and (b) not rely on the dubious quality of "cloud ssrvices"

I can rip my own MP3s, thank you very much. If I insisted on MP3s only, I could get them already from any number of sources. So, to this day I still insist on buying physical media.
Then I rip them myself. Most of the CDs I own have been in a player exactly once.
Call me old school, but if I spent money on goods without getting something physical in return, I feel like I'm essentially throwing money away.

I buy all my music on CD or equivalent quality, then rip them to 10" vinyl disks for proper playback. MP3s are for the deaf.

From where do you buy your blank vinyl disks?

I do. I always keep a physical, original copy of the good albums I come across. Usually if I buy only the electronic version is because I like the band but not THAT much, so I want to save some good hard-earned money.
Also for videogames - I have at least 3 versions of The Elder Scrolls - Oblivion, all original.

I buy them and then convert them to MP3 for mobile devices and also convert to wav/ogg for my computer.
I also like having the little booklets and the artwork - which is why I mainly buy music CD's. If there is a DVD along the CD, even better. Steven Wilson and Opeth have been doing a bit of an interesting thing with their last few albums - make a 5.1 mix, which is also something I like to listen to. But can't do that on my portable devices.

My car has a CD player, so yes, I use them. It would be a waste not to make use of my CD collection. Otherwise I just have a big collection of expensive coasters.

I usually buy from Amazon and get the mp3s immediately so when the cd arrives 3 days later I quite often don't get round to unwrapping it and just put it straight into storage

I have a very huge CD collection, grown from ca. 1990 to 2010 - ca. 4,000CDs with ca. 60,000 tracks.
I didn't buy MP3s for a long time, because there have been too many objections against or objections by the sellers making it difficult to "use" them on several devices with a good degree of "freedom", downloading (and burning them eventually).
Since 2010 I bought a lot of MP3s, because:
1. Amazon allowed me to download and use them on any device I want
2. I have not enough space left in my flat to keep collection CDs. 
Currently I only buy CDs from artists I still want to collect physically!
But mostly I buy MP3s at Amazon and download them onto my NAS.
Why I don't stream from a service (e.g. Amazon)?
Because I do not see a reason to "pollute" the network with streamed audio data, if I can download once and listen n times, without the need to stream again, narrowing the bandwidth unnecessarily.
Currently I see an effect like in the 1980-1990 with using electricity. We needed more and more and no one really seemed to care what this would cost!
Today everybody streams this or that and our network needs to grow enormously in magnitudes, that I doubt, that it is really "good"!
At home I mostly play CDs - scrobble them via a web application to Last.FM. I still like this haptic thing of searching for a CD, taking, opening it and putting the CD into the tray.
Very often I listen to streamed audio - mostly newer music - from my NAS, which also contains all my CDs ripped to MP3 files. And all this audio streams get scrobbled too, but primarily to Libre.FM, which pushes to Last.FM.
During travels/journeys, I listen to music stored onto my devices and do not listen to any streamed any audio.
When do I buy MP3 albums?`
Only if it is cheap enough to be worth bought. If the price is not higher than the price of the CD! If I won't buy the CD, the MP3 album needs to be much cheaper.
While I still buy often second-hand/used CDs, if I collect the releasing artist. I often only pay 5 to 7EUR for a MP3 album or wait until it gets cheap enough!

I buy CDs and rip in Windows Media Player using the Windows lossless format. I still enjoy the album art and liner notes. I was happy to find my new vehicle accepts a 64GB flash drive and have 3000+ songs on it. Also has a SD slot with 32 GB where I keep favorite custom song mixes. Sure beats the old days of ripping vinyl onto cassette for custom mixes or swapping out CDs. The music interface in the vehicle is buggy with a lame design though. I'd like to smack the crap out of whoever built it.

I use a streaming service. For the amount I would spend on cd's or mp3s, I think its the cheapest alternative.
I still have hundreds of cds and lps from decades ago and I'm not sure if I'll ever bother to convert them.

The only CDs we buy anymore are when we hear an acoustic group live, and they're selling CD's to raise money.
I ripped all my classical CDs to flacs after finding several going bad due to bronzing. I play them with quodlibet- that gives me the opportunity to differentiate between composer & performer. In the car, I listen to mp3 audiobooks I copy to a usb stick.
My wife would rather turn on the amp and CD player than use the computer. I picked up a used player that holds 100 CDs for a few bucks, so she can use that. I'll have to swap out the discs when she gets tired of them.

Still buying CDs. Rip to wav to be served up to a tube amp via DAC.
Vinyl is best. The industry had decades to polish the equalization.

I buy them, I've been collecting CDs pretty much since they began. Nothing else offers the same level of clarity and dynamic range. I can't stand listening to MP3s, I've spent my life listening to CDs on hi-fi stereos and it makes me sad that the kids today have no idea how good music can really sound.
I still listen to the actual CDs at times, but these days I rip them to a lossless format and play them from a media server with my receiver. But I still want the physical CDs in any case, they are the backups of my digital music collection. I have CDs going back to the mid '80s that still play perfectly, and some of them are now out of print and unavailable as a digital download.

Yes, since march 1988 I buy, borrow (sometimes) and listen to music CDs. Together with my wife we have more than 2500 CDs. Mostly classical from medieval, renaissance to romantic era and 20th century and modern. Some jazz-CD. And a few hundreds of pop, a big part of it is hardrock / metal. Of course we look and listen to YouTube sometimes, out of curiosity mostly. But when we are really interested, we just buy the CDs. My favourite CD-stores have passed away unfortunately. Online purchase is still possible and a very good and old pop music store (Pop Eye) is still around in Hengelo (Overijssel, Netherlands), and one of the best in the country (as far as I know). Since 2009 I have a very fine iPod Classical with more than 100 GB so I always convert my music CDs to MP3 320 bps. I can listen my music CDs on travel, on the bicycle, in the garden at home. And of course when I'm at home on my HiFi stereo (Van Medevoort equipment and self-built loudspeakers) when I like to have a really good listening-experience. I hope there will be CDs for ever, at least as long as I live.

For me, it really depends on what the music is, where I am getting it, age of the album, etc.
There is a ton of music out there, at least for my tastes, which was never re-released to CD - or even cassette tape - never mind online. That stuff, you can only get the physical form.
Sometimes, I will download a track or album from youtube, then later buy the CD from the artist to support them. I enjoy getting the liner notes, the physical media, and the knowledge that if for some reason google play or whatnot goes away (never say never - I've seen tons of companies just disappear that had been around for over 100 years - remember Montgomery Wards?), I still have the data.
My favorite way, though, to get music, is via Amazon - in more than one case, I can grab the CD, and also get a digital DRM-free MP3 download of the album, and also listen to it on their cloud music service. Not all titles are available this way, but many are.
I also like buying and getting music off bandcamp - 100% digital, but I always try to get the data - then that gets backed up to my fileserver and a separate external drive. I always try to support the artists there, but I also love it when they give out freebies and name-your-price. If I can afford it, I pay - if not, then I try to make it up later. There's been times when I purchased the digital and the physical album from them (one time, I got floppies of the MP3s! That was a promo). I like the fact, also, that the MP3 files come as a ZIP, sometimes with extras inside (and always a graphic "cover" image - great for many purposes). Bandcamp also allows you to re-download the files if you want a higher-res (audio-wise) of the file (lossless FLAC, etc) - but I don't have the space (or really, given my age, the ears) to bother with that, so a standard MP3 at 320VB or whatever is perfectly fine for me.
But I also like browsing old CDs and LPs at Goodwill and resale music stores - there's tons of great stuff there to be found. Sometimes the CDs will be scratched, but if it is in really bad shape, a run through my CD polisher device will fix most anything. For the records, I have a turntable that can play and dump an MP3 via USB.
Ultimately, all of my music ends up as a digital file in some manner - but I do like physical media. I even have a few stereo tape reels from my father (RIP) who collected such back in the 60s; unfortunately, I don't have a player that works to play them (though I do have his old player - but it needs to be fixed).
