Well at that rate I hope that someone produces a documentary about Pez dispensers. Then the whole thing can come full circle.

What most of you are saying is that you like the cases to your dvds. They could always put the USB drive in a pretty case kinda like the nintendo DS games. Then everyone would be satisfied.

In college he had to get one of those racks that hold 100s of CD cases. DVDs come in bigger boxes, so now he's given up the fight and switched to putting them all in a binder.

I dunno, could be wrong but I don't see it. I rip every DVD we buy on to my media server but we still keep all the cases in the media library. :dunno

Same here, sort of. I don't have a media server, but I put my DVDs in a binder and put their cases in a storage box, same with all the music CDs, and ps1 and ps3 games. The boxes are all different sizes, but they are all in the same storage box. I think if they switched to flash drives, I wouldn't skip a beat. I'd have to get a different case/binder for the drives and the boxes the drives came in would be put in the same storage box as the other media boxes.
Driving to work I like to listen to books on tape in my car's CD player (see what I did there?), but the last book on tape I wanted was on a dedicated mp3 player. The librarian told me that's the way all the new books on tape are gong to be.

Well I have to give you that one so that's food for thought. I don't buy CD's or audio books anymore. I buy music digitally from Amazon or Itunes, and I buy audiobooks from audible.com -- all MP3 or AAC files....

Yes I like my cases, but no, I wouldn't want my movies on USB. I still trust optical media more.

I've looked at audible.com. Do you actually "own" the audio book or do you have to delete it after you listen? I currently rip my audio books to iTunes but also burn an MP3 CD for listening in the car. Can you choose either MP3 or AAC when you download?
