Thanks. Yes… physically owning a disk… paying and storing these is on the way out. I have 2,000 vinyl albums and 2,000 CDs… takes up space and if you don’t steam, confines you to listen and re-listen repeatedly to the same thing… but for the price of one CD per month, you have access to millions of tunes.
Agree. Sold all my vinyl and almost all my CDs (I have about 50 hard-to-find, remasters, steelboxes, etc. left). The sale paid for years of streaming. Got rid of the racks to hold them too. So much less clutter. And my streaming can be totally voice controlled. Try that with a CD. And those millions of songs I now have access to are portable on something I always carry with me - my phone. No ripping required.
