My take is:
a) why blow more $$$ for hard drives or cd-r media when you've
already got the bits in digital format on the original cds.
b) whether you copy the media or not, why do you still want
to be stuck carting it around with you around the planet- even
if you reduce the amount of atoms required by converting to
mp3, you still are going to be lugging extra junk around with
you.
Need to stop carting atoms around!
