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 will NEVER "subscribe" to hear my own music. I will listen to the CDs I have and the CDs I create. I don't have any music on the iphone I was given, because the only way to get music on it is to belong to itunes or to buy an expensive Mac.
