I just recently dragged my bin of 100s of CDs from the garage and ripped them all on to a server on my network. I think I may stick with it. It's gotten me buying a lot of physical CDs again, plus a little portable CD rom drive, since I no longer even own anything that can play them.
I honestly am not 100% sure why I like this so much more. Spotify can do the same thing. You can "heart" albums and then they show up in your "library", but there's just something that makes that so clunky to deal with. When you open the app, you get radio stations and podcasts. I love opening an app and just seeing album covers. I dunno, maybe I'm crazy.

I feel the same way, something fun about knowing my digital rips are the exact same edition as the physical object I can go pick up off my shelf instead of an album being some nebulous thing that might have extra tracks or a different mix depending on how I listen to it. I always type out my discs' catalog number in the Comments tag of my rip for that reason. Also the predictability that my music will never disappear due to losing some distribution license (learned this lesson with Rdio), that I can never be out of network range, and that it is incapable of spying on me because it is incapable of using the network at all. I love the combo of old would-otherwise-be-ewaste Android phone + Musicolet + yuge SD card + my own CD rips for music in my car: https://i.imgur.com/HSSouVT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/HSSouVT.jpg
