JDexter, like I said, I use it to back up my collection. I'm in college, I don't have a lot of money and have a LOT of tapes (yes they exist) I figure if I bought it in one form at one point, it's ok for me to "upgrade" I'm not hurting anyone cos I have (or have had and still have the cases to) the originals. CD's are expensive and when people borrow them and don't give them back or just steal them (I recently had my binder with 96 cd's stolen out of my locker at school) It's impossible to re-buy all of them. I don't condone it either, I just can't afford to re-buy all of my music
