Call me a "dinosaur", a "nostalgist" or even a "nostalgic dinosaur"; I enjoysearching shelves for a CD, pulling it off the shelf, removing it from it’s case and placing it into my Jay’s. Perhaps there’s a ritual aspect to it -- I haven’t psychoanalyzed myself in this particular regard but it’s physical media for me!
@stuartk Well, that’s fine if you enjoy the “ritual” and playing the same stuff over and over again. But what you’re really missing out on more than anything else by not embracing streaming are the thousands upon thousands of new songs/albums you’d have access to (a lot of it in hi res BTW) for the price of just one new CD per month. Finding and enjoying new music is infinitely more enjoyable than living Groundhog Day over and over. Once you experience discovering worlds of new music, going back and spinning the same CDs seems downright stifling and Neanderthal. That’s been my experience anyway, and I very rarely spin a CD anymore and don’t miss it in the least. But, to each his own.
Plus he doesn't get the joy of ripping off an artist with every stream!! Good times!!
