Thinking about selling my CD collection = MP3


I am having serious thoughts about selling my 1,500 or so CD collection and going to MP3 playback format. At one time I use to have the time and sit in front of my system and really listen, I mean sit and really get into the music. Now with two kids, and the band that I play guitar in, there is simply no time. My listening consists of in the car or in the house while I am doing something else. I am thinking about ripping my collection to my computer, selling the CDs and my CD player and using a large storage MP3 player as my source. Any thoughts? Anyone else out there do this?

Maybe you already sold your CD's, but you could have considered getting them ripped to lossless FLAC at a cost of about 1.20$/CD. Then you have everything. Sell your CD's, but still have full audio quality backed up to DVDs in the event that you buy a system capable of showing the difference between lossy and lossless file format. Ok, there is the issue of having your music and selling it, but that's a whole different discussion. Check for eg, https://secure.slimdevices.com/order/ripping.cgi
