Angus, ET does point out a big issue and that is space, CD's do after a while start taking up storage space I've got my 200 sitting in a cabinet where as my MP3 collection sits both in the cloud and on a shared harddrive from one of my servers.
So really it's up to what works for you. As Tim says, no reason that ripping cd's into mp3 will allow you to have access to everything via airplay -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tim Kilburn Sent: Monday, 11 December 2017 12:19 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iTunes Versus CDs Hi, With AirPlay and Bluetooth technologies nowadays, purchasing from iTunes allows you to share your music with whoever you wish in full stereo or surround sound. All my music has either been ripped from CD, digitized from LP, or purchased from iTunes. All songs are able to be played through my two audio receivers and one sound bar via AirPlay or through via Bluetooth to my Bose Mini 2. The audio quality from a CD vs the high quality iTunes format is negligible unless you're using the digital outputs from the CD unit to the receiver. Even then, unless you're an audio-file, I'm not certain that most people would notice the difference. So, in my opinion, after that long-winded reply, I'd probably choose the iTunes version, but that's just my opinion. Later...
