All Stocked Up and Nowhere To Play

In a sense it’s fortunate that many do not play their records. Records get damaged easily and most people are ill prepared to handle them properly. That has always been the case but in the past records were the way to be able to hear the music you wanted so it didn’t matter.

Now everything is available on streaming services. Much better! As long as what you must hear is provided by the service.

My 21 year old daughter bought a couple records by one of her favorite artists a couple years back. She has an inexpensive player and I have several. She keeps them as collectors items but has never played them. She streams these all the time though on Spotify.

A framed album makes a very cost effective piece of wall art. I do that all the time. I’ve owned records for 50+ years and still play them so I can convert them to digital and stream. Assuming it’s some thing I must be able to listen to and it’s not on Qobuz.
