I never stopped. I'm from the old, old, OLD school. Never stopped playing my records, and, once digital sound reached a certain level, and I got a CD player, then my digital library started. I never throw away records or photographs. They're memories. CDs, less so, but still...
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.
