We here on this forum are all about sound quality that's a given, we would not be here else. I collect books and watch's besides my vinyl and CDs. I do like to look at them and say I own this. I don't have to play, read or wear  them it just gives me pleasure in just looking. I would not get that by looking at a screen.
That's the pleasure (owning) of collecting, if you see what I mean.


Sorry Jon I digressed onto banal tech nostalgia. I agree about owning physical media and buy far more CD's than downloads. I ran out of space for my CD's and decided I wanted to give my LP's pride of place so realised I should box the CD's up and keep them safe. I also have a lot of books in my house and in the last year have enjoyed building more bookcases to house them. I recently had an evening of playing numerous guitars and basses... it is nice to have a collection even if we just look at them most of the time. I see your point about having collections.

Hi All,
   I hope cd is around for a long time yet. My collection is around 1,000, but I’m starting to rip them to a server. We’re moving house in two weeks and the new listening space doesn’t really have enough room for the rack that stores them. However, I too will leave my LP collection on display in pride of place. 
Buying server/streamer that rips cd has shown me that 16/44.1 can sound terrific if the transport is a good one.
Mick.

I also buy CDs for ripping, as they are often the highest quality source of the music I like. I would just download everything if all the music I like had high quality download links available. I refuse to buy mp3 or compressed formats.

Hi Ash and Mick
I have a lot trouble with computers not down loading music but transferring it to my music player don't know why I just do. I could rip my CDs to a hard drive but I don't have the means to do so, I do know how to do it and what I need to do it but again it's the transferring I have trouble with. I know the main reason for me buying a portable music player was that a lot of cars now don't have CD players so I thought I would get in early and learn how to do it but that has not worked out good for me. By the way my car has the means to play both and in the past I have bought new music both on CD and vinyl of the same album (now I know what you lot are going to say) but it's just easier for me.
I just enjoy looking at all my collections
 I AM JUST OLD FASHION and I know that.

Playing CDs is fine. I only tend to rip them so I don't hear a spinning disc in the background during playback and more importantly, to preserve the CD's physical condition as an archive. Some of my CD or albums have cost between £30 and £200 each as rarity is so high.

Once my transport and knowledge of ripping software are better, I would like to digitise my entire collection and create multiple back ups.
