Why bother with all this ripping of CDs? ?? I have never seen the point in that.
So you spend days copying your pile of CDs, most you have not played in years, are you really going to be playing most of the copies anytime soon.
So now what are you going to do with the CDs? Sell them, give them away, dump them?
Besides, all those tunes are now easily streamable from many sources, that will sound just as good or better.
Just like all that music you put on tape years ago, how much have anyone gone back and played?
