even a modest cd player can sound fantastic…. and cds are available for cheap at thrift stores- i’ve scored a lot of cool stuff for $1 or $2 at Goodwill and Salvation Army and garage sales, stuff i might not have thought of, so it’s fun to explore.
myself i have s carefully curated collection on cds organized in folders w original booklets and whatnot- collected over several decades, and like physical books it’s cool to flip through and browse etc.
streaming supplements my cd collection… and for background like a shuffled Pandora or whatever stream …
also note : buying the occasional cd new, whether it’s a classic or a new release, does help support the artist, young or old
