With the explosion of digital music download stores like iTunes Music Store and MSN Music, I wondered: Have CDs become useless intermediaries between me and my music? I decided to try a completely digital life to see if I missed the shiny plastic discs. I connect my laptop or iPod to my stereo at home I listen to MP3s in the office I even use an FM transmitter attached to my iPod to broadcast the tracks through my car stereo. Sometime last year I realized that I was buying CDs mostly so that I could rip them into MP3s to play on my computer and my iPod. After I rip the songs into MP3 files, I put the CD in the closet, where it will likely spend the rest of its days. I plunk a recently purchased CD into my computer's CD tray.
