I don't play them, but I buy them to rip them to FLAC format for computer-based playback. Having the discs is a sort of last resort in the very unlikely event that my file server and two backups of it all go south at once. Plus I'm picky about getting a bit-perfect copy of the CD. I don't know how careful the record companies are about doing that. But I'm an oddball special case. I don't know anyone who plays them in their home or car.
