The actual CDs are shoe-boxed. At first I felt like maybe I would put them all in CD trapper keepers, but there are just too many of them and I think the best plan is to not ever see them again.

The ripped FLAC files are 150 GB. Next, I'll use those perfect copies to generate a library of mp3s, for portable needs. I'm gonna write a script to do that. All are on a Red Hat Fedora system, will be backed up, and are served to the rest of the house via Samba.

I was an early adopter of DVDs, but it has taken far too little time for them to wind up on the obsolete path. A disappointment. Also, as a music lover, the DVDs are not as important to me as the CDs. And I haven't sunk much effort into understanding all the video formats. And I haven't set up a computer for the main living room TV. So the DVDs will remain on the shelf for now.
