^^^^^ + 100000000000On the subject of CD's it's simple, if your laptop blows up you pretty much lose all your music, if your MP3 brakes you lose your music and you need to replace the hardware as well, you lose a CD and it sometimes costs £2-£10 to replace it but your unlikely to lose 100 Cd's where you are likely to lose more than that if your mp3 packed up. I have an mo3 with all the music I have on cd's so I can listen to it when the need arises...
