A few years ago I started buying old second hand CDs for as low as a few cent a piece. I rip all in flac. I have 10TB of music.

Yes it is not the latest album and it is some work to rip and organize, but I think it makes me enjoy the music more.

Adding to that CD's and DVD's can not be censored, redacted, altered to whatever fits the current social order. I have plenty of music and movies that were "cancelled" or edited via public outcry to satisfy small yet highly vocal groups. I strive to preserve the original artistic composition of the actors, directors and producers.

same. Though only 0.25Tb so far. :) getting there. I struggle with bands that do not sell CDs, but everything from my childhood is cheap and easy to find.
