I've used mp3 for 20+ years
the files do get damaged, itunes especially messes with the files, and if you ever have a disk drive that is flaky, this can gradually erode them all, and the backups you take, this happened to me
you'll get nowt for selling them anyway
Still open to flogging the dvds though, or transferring and giving away. The Megadeth stuff will go to the charity shops!
edit: sorry that sounded a bit abrupt but I mean it as a genuine question. I don’t think CDs are as attractive as vinyl from a physical perspective but no doubt when people got rid of their vinyl collection when CDs came in they no doubt thought no one would ever go back to vinyl.
Because you're still effectively creating multiple copies and depriving the copyright owners of new sales. If you buy a CD, rip it and sell the CD while keeping the copy, and so does the next owner and so on, it's effectively no different to distributing free copies of that one original purchase.

And keep Breadline from Risk at least - that’s a great track, even if quite poppy and far removed from what we expect from the ‘deth.
Essentially morally/ethically you've bought the right to "own"/listen to the music. When you sell the original media, you transfer that right to the purchaser, so no longer have a justification for keeping your (illegal in any case) rip.
Pragmatically, who the hell is going to know, of course ...
