MD=Recordings, CD-R=Archive?

Just wondering... Are there people out there who put their recordings (borrowed music, vinyl, etc.) to CD-R, copy the CD-R to MiniDisc, then store the CD-R for archival purposes---just to have an uncompressed version, and to make a quick copy for somone else....?

In other words, a CD-R and MD copy are made, using the MD for listening, and just simply storing away the CD-R for archival purposes.

Actually, yeah. I don't to it a lot, but sometimes I'll burn MP3s to a CD-R so I can record it in realtime on my stereo (I trust that process the most), then on the shelf goes the CD. Same with borrowed CDs--at least until I can buy my own copy. I have this thing about owning the original packaging, like the booklet and stuff.

But most of my CD collection is just an archive for the music I have on MD. I should just keep it in boxes under my bed and free up some shelf space. Hmmm....

Yeah, I burn CD-R's of borrowed music too even though it's a compressed version that I always listen to.

Granted, in my case it's MP3 because I use it a lot more than MD, but it's about the same thing.
