NOTE: No talk of piracy in this thread. This is about legit use of the MP3 format for digitally archiving your music...
Here is the question.. Do you take your cds and convert them into MP3 format? If so - why and how many songs / gigs do you have ?
I personally have been goin\' thru the process for a few reasons.
(1) I am to lazy to switch cds back and forth.
(2) Most my cds stay in my car (until I get an MP3 jukebox for it), so I can\'t be bothered transfering them back and forth.
(3) I have way over 300 cds and sometimes I want to listen to a few songs off random cds. Making one huge playlist lets me select, without messing with the cds.
(4) I also have them as backups, just in case someone brings into my car and steals my cds.
As of now, I got around 3 gig of MP3\'s and around 400 songs, so I still have quite a few to go before my conversion is done.
