What is the difference where you store digital music? Who cares whether it is stored on a Compact Disk, Hard Drive or Thumb Drive?

that you cannot legally resell the purchase of downloaded music where you can with media. Therefore, downloaded music has no intrinsic value. My LPs and CDs, on the other hand, do have potential cash value.

On the other hand, the ease of replication makes acquiring "evaluation copies" much easier. :)

  Which is almost meaningless in my book. When I go to a Music Concert I don't expect to sell the experience to someone else.
  
  When I buy music, if I get to listen to it multiple times, it has fulfilled every expectation that I have.

    some folks view their music library as a collection. Much like those who collect coins, comic books, stamps, baseball cards, etc.
    
    I'm guessing there aren't many in the latter hobbies who do so with digital copies. :)
