According to my computer, I've got around 390 hours of music on my hard drive. That's mine, no one can take it away, and I'm not
renting it. I've been collecting music all my life and put all my cassettes and DVDs on the HDD, as well so that's one reason I have so much accumulated. I still have quite a few CDs, but most if not all of those I also copied to the computer.
Don't get me wrong, I love high fidelity. If I had the space/money I'd want the best possible quality media and equipment to play it on. I used to have an awesome stereo with huge speakers, back in the day. I can't do that now though, for various reasons.
Do you keep physical copies, digital copies you own, or mostly stream? Have a poll:
