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?

Because:

1) With a high quality CD Transport and DAC, CDs sound better.

2) I have lots of CDs to which I love to listen, and buy more when I feel like it.

3) I don't need unlimited access to all music.

4) I like the physical format and access to written lyrics.
