1- I buy the CDs on sale or used, so they're cheaper. 
2- I rip them to high-quality compressed files for my portable player with a high-quality ripper app.
3- I also rip them to a lossless format for my home entertainment system and for PC use.
4- I get to keep the CDs as archival copies and home decoration. 
Depending on the tools you use, personally-ripped files will be of a higher quality than even commercial downloads. It doesn't take long. |
Way cheaper, especially if you buy used lots online.
