I agree with @soix , since my streaming set up has eclipsed the sound quality of my CD playback set up I don't listen to them much anymore. Only if i can't find it or i just feel like spinning a CD.

Thanks to everyone for your responses. 

 I still play CD and vinyl.   I have music bought years ago and never opened that I will play some day. I have zero interest in streaming.  I listen to FM stereo daily, there are still 2 good Rock stations  in my area. I will never stream, I have too much unplayed physical media.  

Agree with all you wrote. And as an audiophile almost 6 decades I won thousands of CDs and LPs and I'm just used to playing physical formats; the physical sources feel more real.

Great perspective and appreciating each format for what it brings to the table. LPs can offer warmth and texture, CDs deliver consistency and ease, and streaming provides unparalleled access and convenience. I just got back into Vinyl and enjoying the wild ride!

The way I see it, they all are equally capable of exceptional sound quality.

This has been discussed to death but yea, I like and prefer CDs. As others here whose opinions I value have said, one would have to invest at least as much into streaming as they have for their CD setup and that, I'm not willing to do. Way too many boxes, cables and bandaids for me to entertain. 

That, and I'm still old fashioned and like to pay artists and not those who've monopolized their art and screw them out of royalties. It's was never a problem in need of a solution until the admen got involved. 

All the best,

It’s not practical to spend more money to buy streamer and pay monthly subscriptions. 

I also still wear leisure suits!

Kidding! I rarely play a CD and not in a leisure suit.  My CDs are all ripped  

I have set up an extra vintage system using spares that I can just play around with. There is a CD player there. Also a hifi vhs . I made some good recordings off the radio back in the 80s on hifi vhs tape.

All of the above! The physical media and reading the liner notes, band members, cover art, it is all part of the experience.

I have two Sony CD changers and about 600 cds loaded in them. Every once in awhile I hit random play and enjoy the music. PLUS all my CD storage is in those players. No CD storage needed anywhere else

I really never asked this question. They sound great, and are cheap. What could go wrong.

Since I’ve gotten my streaming setup to sound as good or better than CDs the only time I bother to spin a CD is if it’s not available on Qobuz, which isn’t very often.  

I also have two sets of vynil set using SME 10 and VPi tt ? So I already plenty to play with. So I don’t need streaming at this time.

I play cd because I have good collections. This are sacd, xrcd, and they are excellent. Some of my cd they are not on streaming. Also I don’t have the energy to try to put up a good streaming set up.i also have excellent sacd players and dac/transport set up .

Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs?

Because I still have them and a good CDP.

But I also concur with your reasoning  concerning streaming.   I'm mostly a vinyl man but my TT  drive system is broken so I've been streaming a lot. Its a totally different experience from vinyl. Vinyl holds your attention to the music whereas the convenience of streaming is a 2 edged sword. I find myself making playlists like a DJ and instead of listening to the music I'm making a playlist. If I  hold myself to playing just albums then its pretty good. It still won't hang with my vinyl. But I have a lot more $$$ dedicated to the vinyl. I'll be glad to get the new drive system this weekend.

I completely agree with your three points. Even though I have Qobuz, I much prefer playing my own collection. With around 10,000 CDs, I truly enjoy the process of selecting and playing them.

I am very album oriented and don't mess much with playlists. I love streaming and being able to call up almost any album, but when not available on Spotify or Qobuz, i'll pick it up on vinyl or CD. 

i concur with your reasons and would add a couple more:

1. i own thousands of cds, can't bear to get rid of them and therefore feel compelled to put 'em to use.

2. somehow getting up off my chair to actually unbox and insert the disc (as opposed to merely touching my phone) makes me feel more committed to listening.

3. i'm sure this is largely in my head, and contradicted by the technical data, but cds still sound more dynamic and somehow richer.

Still love LP CD and Streaming...all serve a different purpose...not saying one format always sounds better, but they often sound different...I often find it simply easier to pop in a CD rather than find my phone and search for what I want... there seem to be a lot , or just a very vocal few, streaming lovers who encourage others to not play CD...this is a great streaming time of year with all the best of lists...but I probably prefer CD overall at this point...I encourage others to enjoy all 3 and, got one friend into reel to reel...
