Today is 2021—not, “back in the day.” CD-RWs have a very short lifespan, to boot. Copying all to a bulk storage medium would allow both instantaneous access to the entire library, and the ability to make a backup.

I have a lot of stuff on such media. Looks like it will have to migrate.

Did you ever think the man may have converted those thing to CD 15 years ago?

And BTW, no hurry regardless. Every single system gets outdated.

If the commies don’t fully take over, memory sticks will be passé in a few more years. It really doesn’t matter as long as one has a means to listen to them.

Short lifetime! ROTFLMAO! My CD’S from Almost 40 years ago are fine. Besides some people do not desire instantaneous access so let them be.
