I don't remember the last time I've actually listened to my store-bought copy of a CD. The minute I get home from the store after buying a CD I will burn a copy of it and rip it to my computer. I only listen to the copy of the CD so the original doesn't get scratched and ruined.

that's exactly what i do. last school year, my computer wiped at some point over break (i had it off the whole time), and i didn't have most of my CDs here. so i lost the mere 3,000 songs i had at the time (quite a few were from unknown bands on the old, free mp3.com). now, i'm up above 13,000 (i know i'm nowhere close to you Al, but i think it's pretty impressive that i've downloaded roughly 10,000 songs in 9 months of the past 12, on top of the 3000 that i actually own).
