Back in the day I used to buy CDs for clasdical music. Best purchase was Schiff's well tempered. I guess I'm going to buy more from now on. It's hard to own anything nowadays.
There are two downsides though: 1) they take up a lot of space and 2) I spend a lot of time correcting metadata. dbPowerAmp's CD ripper, though, helps a lot with the metadata problem.
