If you really want to be obsessive, get an even bigger hard drive and archive every CD to one of the lossless methods (FLAC, SHIN, lossless AAC, etc.). You can store that hard drive in a fireproof safe somewhere. When you get a portable music player, calcluate how big you can make each file using your preferred compression method, and do an overnight (or perhaps multi-day) recompression from the master external drive to a different location. Repeat as necessary as codecs improve.
