And if I have a random desire to listen to a song that occured to me after I listened to another song, then I have to remember which cd it's on, get up and find it, and SWITCH CDs! 
Point being, I never, ever listen to cd's anymore. My iPod or my laptop gets plugged into my speakers or my car stereo. I mostly make playlists (and buy music, for that matter) on my laptop, and then put them on the iPod. My 15G iPod isn't big enough for all of my music even in a low-quality format, so can't just put it there and delete it from the laptop. And the loss/breakage issue is huge to me. It takes a lot of time to import a cd collection (a task I'm not finished with, and have to start over anyway because I want higher quality ripped files). I don't want to do it twice. PLUS, cds actually do disintegrate over time, and they can also be damaged or stolen. My external drive, when everything is imported, will live off-site, and actually serve as a backup of my cds. 
It's about getting away from those damned disks as much as possible. [Edited 5/17/06 20:24pm] That's the last thing I gotta do - hook my computer up to my stereo then I'll be set... as soon as I get a stereo 
I'll never give up my cd's though, I still play them in the car & in the bathroom when I'm in the tub  I bet you'll give them up someday. They're a pain in the ass. You'll have speakers in the bathroom and you'll plug your mp3 player into them. Ditto for the car.  oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |

I, like Anx, also enjoy the liner notes and what not, but I had to make sacrifices. Since I've given up on buying CD's and just straight files, my collection has started to reach the level of the music I hold in my head. Something which would have been impossible if I was paying 15 bucks a pop for a cd. | |
