The end of physical media is neigh


Very sad news for me personally.  Honestly this struck me as hard or harder than hearing about the death of a beloved artist.   With the advent of machine learning and AI controlling our music listening we are becoming a world without any control at all over our music or movie culture.

I really hate this. Even though I’ve ripped all of my cds and SACDs to a NAS, I’d still have a hard time getting rid of my collection. I’ve thought about it and it makes sense considering the huge amount of space it takes up. Then there’s the Blu-ray’s and dvds. We purged quite a bit a couple of years ago and luckily I’ve haven’t missed any of those but when it comes to my music collection, I just can’t do it, and my albums, they are completely off the table!
