What's stopping you from doing that now?

Seriously. Everyone complains about how it was so much better back then, when you owned your music on physical media.

Meanwhile, the choice of music available to buy on CD's (and even LP's) has never been greater than today.
Plus, you can easily download whatever you want from any streaming service and burn your own CD's (but please don't do that, it violates the TOS and copyright!)

Or you can buy DRM-free music files at higher quality than was ever available on physical media outside of niche formats that were never widely adopted. Costs are not outrageous and you can listen to them however you like on whatever device you like, and the artists actually get paid and there’s no question of legality.

Yeah you can literally buy flac instead of relying on CDs to get lossless quality. Also recording these days is so much better, you could easily get a lot of good remastered version of your favorite songs now.

DRM protection on music discs, and general distrust of “cracking” software due to my ignorance in The Scene as it stands today.

DRM protection on music discs

Unless I'm mistaken, this hasn't really been a thing for like 15 years.
