Me too, and I still like hard-copy back up, either CD or vinyl, on the shelves as well. I've never met a hard drive--lower-case "i" or otherwise--as reliable in the long term as hard copy on a shelf. I do recognize it is becoming more difficult to find hard-copy material outside of the cyber mega-warehouses. Ah well...

I prefer having my music stored on discs (or records) that I can browse, and including notes that I can read away from a computer. Of course, this being my preference means nothing in terms of which way the industry will go. But at least I have a substantial library that will sustain me musically for years to come.
