@mkj @leonerd @neil I still buy CDs, often the originals before they were remastered (sometimes badly).

I was ripping CDs to .flac with embedded cover pics and track data (and the most wanted DVDs to .mkv) once or twice a week for 10 years :-)

I hoped storage costs would come down in time, and they did, so now the whole lot is on MicroSD in my phone, plus somewhere safe even if the discs get lost :-)
