I prefer having the physical product as a backup myself, but I've become a total convert to the idea of having everything on hard drives and easily accessible...
I can't imagine ever parting with any of my media--from my kiddy 78s to the modern stuff, but for ease of access, this setup just can't be beat...
I absolutely understand and completely agree! I very much enjoy the portability and simplicity of having a "soft copy" of my stereo (2-channel) collection. Like you, I just prefer STARTING with the physical product and producing my own soft copies as an alternative so that I always have the physical product to fall back on when I have a disc player accessible.
As new generations of consumers and technologies come along, the things that have always attracted me to the physical product will be poorly understood and appreciated. The recording labels seem to be finding this out the hard way.
