I have found managing download files too much trouble. Many have incomplete meta data, or don't sort properly (a problem particularly for classical music, and especially with multiple works on one disc), or there is no understanding of what constitutes a work with multiple movements, as distinct from multiple tracks. Anyway, I digress. I find SACDs more satisfying in every respect (and CDs if I can't find it on SACD) - especially when I want to collect an important disc. And I also occasionally enjoy streaming, mainly as a method of discovery.
So that leaves me with the question - what do I do with my old downloads? Some were 'free', but others I bought from places like iTunes. Can I sell them? Can I give them to charities?
