> because it is impossible to rip them to your computer Which luckily isn't actually true. They might or might not have been problematic with certain software and/or disc drives, but in principle – especially these days – they can normally be ripped without any difficulties. (Nevertheless, Columbia/Sony still managed to lose all the pre-gap material from a number of live Bob Dylan Bootleg Series albums while uploading them for digital distribution, so all streaming services and download stores currently only have faulty versions of those albums. Maybe they really ripped the physical discs in order to upload them and somehow chose the wrong settings? As silly as that theory sounds, in another coincidence on iTunes, none of volumes 1 to 10 – the actual releases affected are 4, 6, 7 and 10 – inclusive bears the "Apple Digital Master" logo, so Columbia/Sony actually uploading mangled CD rips remains a distinct possibility…)
