I like ripping mp3s because, honestly, I make copies of most of my CDs. I make them out of high-quality mp3s that I rip on my Mac. Eventually, I'll get an iPod, and that'll be my portable music choice. But for now, I really don't want to have to tote my CDs from work to home to Jenni's car, and I don't want to risk losing CDs that I paid $15 for. I'd rather lose a 29 cent CDR that I can just re-burn.
I haven't touched file sharing programs in over a year. I'm just not that interested in them anymore. Previous to that, all my mp3s were ripped by myself and friends (back in the modem days) or downloaded via TCSE. Anyone remember that?
