Why do I still play CDs’? And why is streaming not an option for me? Simple really. At age 67 the Kool Aid doesn’t taste quite as sweet and throwing $$$ down a rat hole to chase the ever elusive ’absolute sound’ in yet another new format just doesn’t appeal to me for some strange reason lol...
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?
