Physical you can make digital, and stream it, put it on your phone. I have many cars, that doesn't mean I pack them with me. I make them digital and then stream them to my own devices.
Its the exact same thing, just I don't have a subscription that could end or a corporation license that expires. Unless you buy your music DRM free, I can respect that.
Yeah I used to do all that stuff. Get a CD, stick it in computer, rip contents to files. Make sure files and directories are in good order and named properly.
Now don't forget to copy what you want to some storage device that you need to take with you. I guess you could dump the files on your phone, but you could also use a streaming service. Same output, a lot fewer steps.
Did all this ages ago, I have no need to do it again. I'm OK to pay for a service that does it for me.
I mean, I use jellyfin and stream it to my devices for free. I pay $10 once for the CD, and then I have the same convenience but no monthly fees.
