You rationalize to yourself that you don't really like it so much that you want to pay for it. There's no definitive amount of "liking-ness" where you can determine if you will purchase the cd or not. After I realized this, I've been buying a lot more cds lately. But the problem still remains.
Most people say they download and then buy later, but no one does that 100% of the time.

well, i do my best...
my top 50 list for this year is essentialy the list for checklisting the albums i should be getting as well. and occasionaly, when i feel pretty grand, i'll just up and order animal collective and the Go team because i've enjoyed the music for quite some time and i feel like it's a good album to have for many many years.
of course, this might change if and when my budgetary situation becomes more constrained, but as long as i feel that i can afford it, i'll buy it.
