In a small uni bedroom, my computer's always there and always on when I'm
awake. Over the summer I ripped all my (200ish i guess) CDs to MP3 and
burned them onto 20 CD-Rs. Now instead of taking 4 hefty cardboard boxes
with me to uni, I can get it all in one shoebox. Even if I had the time to
put them all on MDs, that'd cost a lot in media and would take up more than
twice the space of the CD-Rs.
Stuff I particulary like I've already put on to MD (got about 25 discs here
at the moment)- any new stuff I download (and like enough) goes on there
too.

I'm just not organised enough to have time to get a playlist of tracks I
want, re-encode them (my own rips are all at 160 or 192k - too big for a
portable MP3 player), then wait while they transfer to the player. I'd much
rather grab my R55 and a couple of discs and be out the door.

Kinda, but don't write the format off just because it's of limited use to
you.
