I am not big into videos, but muscially I really miss being able to choose cd, stick it in a player and play. Now I have to boot the computer up , open up the music player, find the tracks, and play. 10 seconds versus a few minutes.<p>Likewise I used to grab a cd or tape for my walkman before leaving the house. Now it takes at least 5 minutes (probably more) to transfer files to an mp3 player though admitedly they can hold way more.<p>The only place I see this as a win is with the kindle where book sizes are so small, I can store way more than I am likely to read.
