If all you're doing is taking your own CDs and putting them on MD, it's not that bad. When traveling, three or four MDs with different tunes is all you really need. When you get back home, you can check everything back in if you wanted to.
Where it does become a problem is if I make an MD for a friend using my own CDs. As you probably know, you're limited to three 'check-outs' for each song.
