No, the most convenient way is ripping them and turning them into media files that I can copy to anything I want.
Archiving them like this also helps fight against bit rot. They aren't getting any younger (and by the CD/DVD's last days, they weren't exactly made out of the most high quality materials). I'm already experiencing this with floppies and retro computer stuff.
I had limited run CDs that spent their life temperature controlled and out of sunlight and they still had parts of the data layer “rot” away to the point they aren’t listenable at all anymore.
After I found those I started getting records on vinyl instead.
