Mavbe some of us still enjoy that part of the hobby like when we used to sift through albums.
Bingo Bob, this was my biggest dilemma importing all my cd's into my computer. While I am quite numb to it now, it felt very soulless 8 years ago, to be sitting in front of a computer screen, looking at a bunch of words in lines, trying to decide what to listen to. 2 weeks ago I moved a large portion of my cd's to shelves above my computer, and since doing so, I have listened to a lot of music outside of my normal playlists that I haven't listened to for a while, music I forgot I even had. It is nice to physically browse through your music and to know it is not upstairs in closed boxes, waiting for a hard drive failure to see the light again.
When you get over 10,000 songs in itunes, it takes some effort to keep them organized, and you can really get lost.
Sonically, lossless files to a DAC3 sounds great to me.
