Mine neither.  Of course I bought CD's of every analog item I had, and
stored the original "true" analog media away in a safe place, knowing
that it actually held "all" the music, and not just some arbitrary

And I've never touched them again.  In fact, In fact I can't even find
the needle for my turntable since the last two times I moved. :-) 

(I think its stored with the rotary phones..... ) :)
