(2) I have a lot of books, and I'm not a fan of eBook readers, so I plan on acquiring many more books than I already own, and I don't want to maintain two physical media collections.

I buy a CD, rip it into iTunes, and place it on my CD shelves, where it sits forever. (1) I'm 22, so I'm of the generation that sees CDs as nothing more than a storage medium. Most of the new music I buy is from Amazon mp3, although I'm currently searching for some good online stores that sell everything in FLAC. My goal is to eventually have as few physical CDs as possible, and I want all of my digital music to sit on two hard drives. I sold off a chunk of the collection in two batches, and I'm getting ready to sell off a third. The first step in this process has been culling my CD collection. Recently, I've decided to go (mostly) digital. The majority of posters on ILM seem to prefer their music on LPs and CDs, and I definitely see the appeal in doing that-up until very recently, I had to have everything in CD- but I think there might be a few others who, like me, are starting to purchase most of their music digitally. I'm not talking about buying a CD or LP and then digitizing it, but buying music natively in mp3, FLAC, or some other format. There's been some talk about digital music collections in the past on threads like The Data Migration Thread, but I wanted to start a new thread! dedicated solely to those of us who are actively building up (legally acquired) digital music collections.
