wammal, you say your concern with copying is loss of quality.
But CDs and DVDs are stored in DIGITAL format. Digital means the data is held either as a 0 (zero) or a 1 (one) - millions of them of course.
So when you copy a digital CD or DVD to another CD or DVD you are just copying MILLIONS of zeroes and ones and therefore there is no loss of quality.
This is not true of analogue of course (VHS tapes for example). When you copy from VHS tape to VHS tape you DO get loss of quality.
This is why the world is moving to digital:- digital cameras and camcorders, digital TV, digital radio, digital phones, and of course CD and DVDs which are digital.
Once anything is in digital format it cannot (generally) suffer loss of quality as it is moved around.
