[QUOTE="goldfritter, post: 1129443, member: 23412"] At this point you can consider buying and downloading digital files directly from the artist. Most artists already sell their music like this, whether on Bandcamp or their own website, usually FLAC or MP3. It's still yours to keep forever. And it isn't trapped on a bit of plastic with a finite shelf life - you can save (and play) it on basically any digital device. You can also back it up to a secure location so it can't be stolen or lost in a fire or flood. I know you can also just rip the music off a CD, but with this method you skip the effort. And the sound quality of FLAC is considered the same as CD (although there are purists who dispute this). I will concede however that you do lose the physical aspect of holding the disc and the booklet. Some of the digital sales come with a digital booklet, but that isn't the same. (Although arguably vinyl is a better medium for this, as you can have a bigger sleeve and booklet). [/QUOTE]
