I went back and forth from vinyl to CD and back to vinyl several times until I gave up on vinyl altogether, but still have my records and analog gear for a rainy day. As far as streaming and going back to CD, I have not gone back to CD since I discovered streaming except on maybe 2-3 occasions when streaming didn’t have the songs I was craving at the time. I don’t anticipate deviating from streaming anytime soon. It’s just toooo convenient! I’ve been contemplating what to do with all my CDs, which are needlessly taking up almost two entire walls in my main listening room.
Rediscovery
Being a member of the “streaming revolution” for some time now, I’ve barely listened to my large CD collection (I’ve listened to records because I acquired a new analog setup). Several thousand CDs have been lying fallow. This is partially due to mobility issues (although records are more demanding,) and the convenience and lure of listening to new music, Now, I’m delving into my CDs and discovering treasures long forgotten. Although it’s a little more effort, I find it very much worth it. It’s like refinding old friends. Very rewarding.
Any of you having this experience?
