And YOU can do your own backups and not worry that your vendor (DRM method) goes out of business or tied to a specific piece of hardware.
Those Paperbacks I bought in 1963, still work (a bit yellow, and I sometime tape the page back in place). The 45 & 33 Records still play just fine on any Turntable (OTOH some of my QUAD stuff needs a $pecial catridge and Decoder box. But any working one will do). So far, all my CD's still play.
All without DRM, which allows me to format shif them to play direct in my vehicle without a kludged adapter
(Cassette ->CD ->MP3 on a flash drive)
Unfortunately, my 8 Tracks no longer work. I wonder if that is a DRM issue?
