I know you like to spar at times, so this is all I am going to say. It is like this. Imagine I were to start a thread saying I'm trying to think of a reason for liking streaming (but I just can't). It seems like such a thread would be pointless other than to start, if not a war, at least a skirmish. Now if I were genuinely interested in wanting to learn what I am missing by not streaming, that is another matter. The OP already knows he isn't missing anything by 100% streaming and has indicated as much. He has started other threads where he expresses his enthusiasm towards streaming over all other sources, and that's fine too. But to ask why CD's, that he is "trying to find a reason" and that they will be dead in 10 years etc, seems like he is taking a stab at something else, especially since it is pretty obvious that CD's have no value to him. I guess if the title of his thread truly meant he was looking for suggestions about his CD's and my knowing he really doesn't intend to actually play them I would recommend their use as coasters on the coffee table!
