....but not breaking.
I have a relatively small collection of around 500 albums in FLAC which I have backed up in 3 different places because hard drives can and do fail over time.
Ripping CDs with Exact Audio Copy is super easy.
SACD and DVD Audio never really caught on the way CD did and are now also irrelevant with the proliferation of high resolution file formats and devices that seamlessly play them.

If you get a PS/3 and easy accessible ISO software, you can rip the former to DSD files. :)
Backups are a part of Digital Media and Disk is Cheap.I have over 4500 Albums stored in FLAC....

I think it is just f-ing incredible that I can store my entire digital library on a single 256 GB flash drive that set me back fifty bucks.
Back in the early 80's, I was responsible for the daily backup of critical business data to 9.2 megabyte versions of the ubiquitous QIC cartridge that looked like this. We maintained a two week set collection for assured business continuity. :)
I was in "Data Processing" (which is what they used to call it) since 1972. We had Disk Drives with removable Packs 10 inches high and 15 inches in diameter. They held 40K Bytes. We had never even heard of a Meg of Storage, much less a Gig or Terabyte. The Computer had 96K of RAM and it cost a Buck a Byte.
My Music Library is 1.3 Terabytes.
