I ordered a couple of CDs from Amazon that arrived yesterday. I immediately opened the disks put them into iTunes and synced my iPod. I've been listening to them at work...from my iPod.

I did listen to one on the CD player in the car this morning, but I could have just as easily have plugged the iPod into the car.

I've been resistent to order digital copies of CDs, preferring instead to have the real deal to hold and hug. But storage is becoming an issue and I'm wondering why I'm holding on so tightly to CDs. Granted I rip to iTunes in Apple Lossless format, but let's face it, the sound quality on most CDs isn't all that great to begin with, so would I really notice a difference if I downloaded MP3s instead? The majority of my listening is from my iPod these days. Even on the good speakers, most days it's just easier to drop my iPod into the dock then start fussing with CDs. Plus I have the option of shuffling tunes and setting my own playlists.

Am I holding on for no good reason? Has anyone else faced this dilemma?
