Comment on Is it a good idea to take your physical dvd's and cd's or whatever and make a digital backup?

I’d argue you should digitize all of them and use the digital versions exclusively, while saving the physical media as your backup. this keeps the originals safe since they’re more likely to be damaged during handling than the intangible digital file is.

That’s what I did for a lot of my music… ripped them all and put the originals in storage. They’re safe and sound and will last longer than any backup I could have made would.
Now If I could only get my kids to not pillage my stuff before I’m dead that would be nice…
