Think about it this way... let's say that you have a huge collection of records and open reel tapes lying around your house that you want transferred onto digital medium before your last record player and tape deck finally die... the most economically way to do this is to encode the music as MP3's and then burn them to a disc. A secondary cool aspect is that all of the sudden your entire collection from an artist is on on disc. I'm working on my dad's Allman Brothers collection right now... instead of flipping/switching records 16 times, we'll just have to pop in one cd. Very cool.
