Unfortunately, that is not always possible. We have spent decades figuring out ways to listen to the songs we like in the order we like and so far no one has found the perfect system. But at least now with a CD-ready computer you’re in a position to save yourself some time while playing the music YOU want to hear WHEN you want to hear it and in the order you want to hear it.Rip Your CDs to Your Hard DriveYes, this is legal. You’re allowed to make a digital backup of the music you have purchased. You are NOT allowed to upload that music to the Internet or to distribute it to other people or to play it in public.Your standard Windows PC today comes with software that can easily rip the songs off your CD and store them on your hard drive in whatever format you like. From there you can organize them in your library, create playlists, and connect your PC to your home entertainment center so that you can play your songs in whatever order you like.But wait! What if you want to listen to all that great music in your car? No problem.Store your Digital Music on an iPhone or MP3 PlayerNow, everyone realizes we’re not allowed to wear headphones while driving but many modern cars actually have direct connections for iPhones and other USB-capable MP3 players. You don’t have to mess with burning new CDs for your car — you can just listen to your favorite music on a USB device.Heck, if you want, you can even record your own radio show and play that in the car.In addition to listening to music in the car, many camping chairs now come with audio connections and speakers for mobile music devices. Did you know that? So when you’re sitting outside waiting for fireworks or at a family picnic you can STILL listen to all that great music and not have to worry about how long your little headphones’ cord may be.Sure, the chair speakers may not sound great but the idea is for YOU to enjoy your music, not the world. Meanwhile, you don’t have to flip through radio channels looking for commercial-free music that you love.Remember to Keep Your CDsPerforming artists and the recording industry have had their differences through the years but what keeps them going are the royalties they receive on legitimate CD sales. So don’t just pass your CDs around after you have ripped them (and don’t upload your digital files, either). It may seem less expensive to swap song files on the sly but the real cost will, in the long run, be for all the fans if their favorite artists stop recording because they cannot afford to do it any more.Your private CD collection serves as a sturdy backup to all that digital music anyway. If your computer crashes or your MP3 player stops working you can rip the songs again — and having all those CDs ready to do that is a really great time saver.Did you like this article?
