    I have an external CD/DVD player that is used solely to rip CDs and add to my media server. I abhor renting music and ripping a CD gives me the format and quality I like (!1000kbps flac) and future proofs me if tech limits change down the road. I used to rip to ogg but a few years ago I reripped about 500 CDs to flac.

      yup, sadly many of the bands/artists i listen to don’t really offer their music as physicals, but there’s also no way i’m gonna spend 20 bucks on an album just to listen to like 3 of the songs ever.

      i have a weird way of listening to music.
