You know, I did have most the songs I love converted to MP3's but I burn them to CD for my vintage stereo/CD player because I prefer listening to music throughout the home on that and not just through a laptop or ear pods. At least I am guessing that is what people do today (for the most part). Besides, I only have a flip phone myself and so I think I am pretty limited with what I can do on it (which is perfectly fine by me). I actually prefer a very basic phone to make calls only.
When I just about finished getting every song burned to CD even adding a bunch of new ones my drive died in Windows 10 (greyed out start burn) and I took my last one to my ancient Windows 7 laptop and burned the last one from there. I was thrilled it still worked. What I got now will be the music I will have for life if these puters die.
I wanted to be able to cut the cord to the internet a little easier, and music is one of those things I prefer having a hardcopy of, know what I mean? Not needing a connection to stream or a device that connects to it to play it.
But your right about the software also, last minute last year I was able to get a hard copy of bible software so I could study offline with an older computer if I had to. I would definately miss online study resources. So I needed to take care of the two things I would miss most, and those are pretty much taken care of now.
I wish I knew computers like you do but I get tired at the thought of learning about them at this point in my life.
