You rip the CDs with EAC or dbPowerAmp. Store them on your hard disk. Them play them with a jukebox such as Media Monkey or WinAmp or use a mp3 player like an ipod. Get some Philip or Sony 'in-the-ear' buds for less than $15L for the mp3 player and you are good.

That technology has been main stream for over a decade.

More importantly, you preserve your CDs and properly ripped the audio will be at least as good. Also we tend to lose CDs far more often than computers.

I would rip using LAME VBR mp3s at the highest fidelity setting. The files are small and the quality is better than your ears or audio equipment.
