Have you been talking to my wife? That's the same thing she said when shortly after my recent post on this thread I mentioned that I "needed" to hang on to the ripped CDs. I considered positing some sort of ATF/SWAT/America;s Most Wanted raid: "Sir, you need to back away from the Mac Mini...Sir...Sir?...PUT DOWN THE MOUSE!!!!...PUT DOWN THE MOUSE NOW!!!...AHHHH!!!"

True. But I haven't actually stolen it, yet you could still accuse me of having done so if your default assumption is that people are thieves unless proven otherwise. I would have no way of proving to you that I'm the rightful owner of this chair and that there isn't somebody out there I've stolen it from. Link to comment
gdpr Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 The main thing is was trying to pass on, is that the chair can only used at one place (anhd even by one person at the same time). A physical CDcan only be used by one player at the same time, however its content can be copied, distributed and used multiple times without any quality loss. That is the main reason, nobody will ever check if you actually bought the chair. I am convinced that nobody will check if an individual consumer has bought the physical CD', which content he is listening to. What they would like to control is if you actually paid one way or another for the music you are listening to. Bystander 1 Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 They would like to control and prevent purchasers of CDs from disseminating the contents. And properly so. The problems arise from the means they have used to do so. Bystander 1 Link to comment

NipperDog Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I went through the same scenario a couple of months ago. I realized that with rare exception I'm streaming my music now and most of my CDs just gather dust. I separated the ones that have special meaning to me and the ones that aren't available on Tidal from all the others. The rest I donated to The American Cancer Society and took the tax credit of $2 each for them. It's nice not to have them cluttering my listening space anymore. Link to comment
diecaster Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I prefer CDs because may of the albums on streaming services do not have the best mastering choices. I buy CDs with the best sounding mastering. Link to comment

NipperDog Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I have no idea. I asked them what they sold them for and they said $2.00 per disc. That's why I settled on a tax credit of 2 bucks each for them. Link to comment

Also, how do they check the quality of the CD rips? Link to comment
