I am playing big-evil-demon's advocate, and I agree with you, that a
system of backup from the seller's site would be very nice indeed. It's
one of the reasons I've never jumped up and down in excitement over online
MP3 sales. I'm still not putting my money where my mouth is in support of
bleep.com, and I likely won't for a while, for most of the same reasons
you mention -- what if?
But you do raise a point I've come to accept regarding CDs in the car, and
it took me a while to get it through my head that I should simply have
copies of the CDs I want to take in the car instead of the actual CD,
simply because original CDs cost 12+ and copies cost $.10. I'm lucky to
never have had something stolen from my car, but I'd hate to go through
that experience.
Of course, I also know that those Labradford CDs I have aren't ever going
to get listened to in the car, which is why my car CD case only holds
about 20 CDs :D
I could see it being a very valuable extra feature, but making it
optional. perhaps a 'subscription' based setup for bleep.com that would
store all of your past purchases, or an extra few cents/dollars per
song/album for a 3?5?10? year backup of the songs you purchased.
