Am I in the minority?

I was perusing some older posts today about computer audio and one that got me thinking was, "Once you go the computer audio route, you'll never want to listen to a CD player again." I've tried using only a computer as my transport into a USB DAC, and while it sounded great, I found I wasn't listening to digital music as much as when I had a CD player. For me, I actually enjoy selecting a CD from the rack, placing it on the tray, and watching the display read "Track 1". Unlike some I don't mind getting off the couch to replace the CD with another when it's done. That's one of the reason why vinyl is a better medium for me, also. I like watching the record spin as the tonearm is being lowered. Am I the only one who feels this way?

I agree with you that vinyl for me would easily be my first choice, but when music isn't available on vinyl, I would rather put an actual CD into the CD player than select it on iTunes. Must be my nostalgic side.

My intent wasn't to debate which format was better, although we all know which one sounds the best. Hint: it doesn't involve 1's and 0's. I was merely expressing my preference for physical media instead of computer files. I think my music sounds just as good from my Mac into the USB port of my AMR CD player as compared to actual CDs.
