Yes I convert them to MP3s (well ogg) and sync them to my devices. Other than my bluray player, I don't have a working CD player in my house (my 3 disc changer separate died a few years ago).
In any event, DRM free MP3s are usually within about $1 of the album price, and many of the places that sell MP3s have some option to stream from their cloud storage. I go with the shiny plastic discs because a) I'm a Luddite and b) some genres of music have audible distortions in mp3 (mainly pre-echo!) that I find bothersome when listening with headphones.
