I would hate to lose all my music because of hard drive failure.
With CD's, I'm protected from that. |

I guess I'm afraid of getting sued if what I buy turns out to be illegally reproduced. |

Step into 2006 and burn your disks to a hard drive.

-Mike | Erm, you do mean "rip."
As for iTunes, I have some mixed feelings. I dig legit (and er....illegit) music downloads (although I've had Metallica's first three and best records for years), but some stuff they do pisses me off. Fr'instance:
Opeth's Lamentations: Live at Shepard's Bush 2003 DVD at Wherehouse Music: $15
Audio of said DVD, EXCLUSIVELY on iTunes: $20.
Lame. So I get the DVD for cheaper but have to shell out what I paid for it AND five more dollars for the audio? Psssh.
And before you ask, YES, I am too lazy to record and bootleg my DVD digitally myself. |

Better deal all the way around. |

Sorry for hijack.
