"Heck, I don't feel as if I have any "serious access issues" when perusing the rackfuls of CDs and LPs presently employed in the here and now."Maybe others feel differently and hence the proliferation of "computer audio". Having everything available at your fingertips for instant access w/o even getting out of one's listening chair to swap a disc or LP is pretty sweet. Browsing album art, track titles, lyrics, and even artist bios right in front of you on an iPad/tablet screen by your side in the listening chair is also very convenient. All of that with sonic performance on par with CDs or better makes for a pretty compelling story. In my specific case, I wouldn't have room for all my CDs and LPs in my office listening room, but they all fit on my "computer audio" system.
If spinning CDs is still your thing, nothing wrong with that but others have moved on.
"In any event, a few small boxes full of small soundcards and a corresponding catalog of some type would not be my idea of a seriously inconvenienced lifestyle. "
I believe you're talking about storing your tunes on SD or CF memory cards. Dave_K already explained many of the disadvantages of going down that path. One that he didn't mention is that SD/CF cards were never meant for reliable long term data storage. They were meant as temporary storage to be used as a transfer medium. SD/CF memory cards are LESS reliable than disk drives or solid-state disks.
Of course you can make duplicate backups of your box full of SD/CF cards and keep them all in another box. But why go through the risk and bother when a single disk (in a computer or elsewhere) will house your ENTIRE music library? Of course you would still make a backup or two but that's nothing compared to making a handful of backups of your handful of not-so-reliable primary SD/CF soundcards. Not a path worth pursuing IMHO.
"I don't know how some of you guys do what you say you do, but I only have so much time to listen to music every day."
We have MORE TIME to listen to music because we're not spending a good chunk of it looking for that album or tune in the CD/LP rack, or in a box full of soundcards. ;-)
