Music format for bringing to audition/demo


Had my system for 20+ years, time for an upgrade. I have not been in a hifi shop since 2000 and at that time I would simply bring CDs. Nowadays is it most common for people to bring digital music on a thumb drive or some other way and what is that? Or do people rely on dealers having nice streamers and they just look up what you want to hear? 

Basically I want to know what it most common and how I can bring music that say I downloaded from hd tracks or similar sites to the dealer.

Here's a list I made a few months ago of what I take to auditions...

Gum, mints, toothbrush, floss, tissues, pens/pencils, sunglasses, reading glasses, phone charger, hair bands, bobby pins, nail file, advil, Starbucks gift cards, a book, lotion, granola bars, chapstick, single use Super Glue, eyedrops and some CD's LP's et cetera.

Just kidding, and it's been @ least 15 years since I visited a HiFi shop.

I would call the store to see what source components are available to use.
