That would require more work though. It's like telling someone to rip all your CDs and put it on your phone instead of streaming it from Spotify.

- booruguru 12y agoPeople don't rip CDs anymore? You can't depend on a streaming service to stream your favorite content forever. Also, you don't actually "own" your DRM-riddled digital downloads from Amazon, iTunes, etc. What's more, CDs and Blu-rays offer high resolution content than any streaming service currently offers. For the HN crowd, I thought ripping would be a no-brainer.

Buy individual tracks and archiving them to your own media is a no-brainer, but ripping CDs isn't necessary to that when the major music download services all are (or allow you to export) portable, DRM-free copies.
