Let me know when this process starts looking more difficult than finding the CD that your looking for on a shelf, taking it out of the case, placing it into your player and pressing "play".
The argument of physical CDs allowing you to see album art and read about what you are listening to is just silly. This is just reviews of the album and general information. Go to the Wiki and you can learn everything about the album and even the entire history of the band. Try getting that from your CD sleeve.
These files can be displayed on another computer using a remote desktop session or even played over a wireless network. People that say "The whole PC audio thing is just too complicated" are just being old fashioned.
For output, you can go as simple as a pair of headphones connected to the headphone jack of your laptop all the way up to a $10,000 DAC connected to your PC. Connect similar devices to a CD transport and the sound will not be any better. The obvious upsides are no discs to get scratched or lose, no skipping.....ever, and the music physically takes up much less space than 403 CDs and cases would.
I think the comment about someone saying that CDs cannot be replaced by a PC being a lot like saying that engines will never replace horses was very valid.
