I got a hard copy of The Very Best of Rainbow from Amazon (10 bux), and on CD "Man on the Silver Mountain" sounds WAY better in my car than the MP3 I have does. I swear all the MP3s I have ever downloaded are poo poo quality, the only good MP3s I have are the ones I burned myself.

I've found the same thing too, which has resulted in me (who previously never bought CDs, prior to graduating and getting full-time employment) to buying CDs all the time, in the last ~7 years. So at this stage I'm 27 and I've got two huge CD books in my car - which by this point is no doubt way more than all my other (non-old) friends combined. :v: (As for storage, I've got some in a rack, but most of my cases are stored in a cardboard box in my spare room)

Now that you all have got me thinking about it, I should probably rip all my CDs and try entering the 21st century by using a (non-iPod) media player, but I don't recall what all the good+free CD ripping apps are; I've used them in the past, but not in over a decade, I'd say. (And well, 99% of the music I listen to is in the car, so not needing to change CDs would be good)

Also, I know this isn't the recommendation thread, but if you like Rainbow's MotSM you might like stuff by Angel (specifically "The Fortune" and "The Tower") and White Lion, perhaps? I recently discovered those bands myself, after looking for songs that are similar to MotSM.
