No one can take the music on your CD's from you. I bought loads if sings and albums from Google Music and they are all gone now

This is a reason to avoid DRM, not digital files in general.

Google Music had DRM free downloads, so the DRM wasnโ€™t the problem - it was that they didnโ€™t download them before Google Music was shuttered.
