I keep 3 copies of every CD I own (4 if you count the CD itself). A FLAC copy ripped using EAC that lives on my NAS and gets streamed in my home. An MP3 copy at a 192 bitrate for use in our cars.

Then copy the files where they need to go and delete them from my laptop. CD then goes into a bin in the garage until I need it again or want to admire the artwork.
