Since I really enjoy music and have really wanted to start my library of the greatest music of my life, these tips will be a huge help to me! Everything you guys mentioned here will preserve memories or create new ones.
I would like to add that using the Internet is still a great way to find what you need. I've looked for my long-cherished cds while surfing and most of the time, I found what I needed. Go and check out eBay for hard to find cds (make sure you research info about the item you're looking for. The more specific details you have, the better.) or just go to youtube and type out the title of your songs there.
