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?

All of my CD's are ripped and are on a network drive and backup locations.  I play the ripped CD's and stream music via Qobuz through Roon.  I listen to my music through Roon in multiple rooms so CD's don't make much sense for me anymore.  I don't miss the clutter of hundreds of CD in my living room.

I still purchase music. I prefer to purchase high resolution or CD quality downloads if they are available.The music that I purchase is mostly new releases.  Older music that I don't own is usually streamed.  Lately I have been purchasing a lot downloads from Band Camp.  When I buy CD's, I immediately rip them onto the network and the CD's go into bins in my basement.  I won't be going back to physical media.
