Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs?

I'm curious why you still play CDs in the age of streaming. I recently got back into CD listening and I'm curious if your reasons align with mine, which are:

  • Enjoying the physical medium—the tactile nature of the case, the disc, the booklet, etc.
  • Forcing myself to actually listen to an album, versus being easily distracted by an algorithm, or "what's next" in my playlist.
  • Actually owning the music I purchase, versus being stuck with yet another monthly subscription.

Others?

I play CD's because I can't get my turntable to work in my car.

Thanks for the video. I actually had an RCA under dash record player in my car back in the '60's before 8 tracks came out. The tone arm played underneath the records instead of on top. It played a stack of six 45's and actually didn't skip unless I hit a substantial bump or dip.
