I own about 1000 CDs but rarely listen to them because streaming is so much more convenient. Kind of sad but a matter of fact. Getting my ass out of my Eames chair, searching my archive, putting it in the player seems so tedious in comparison. I think I’m not the only one
I still buy vinyl records for the experience of having music that’s collectible and palpable. I do mostly stream, but physical media gives more quality to music.
But it sounds so much better once you dive back into your Eames chair after walking around to put the disk in.
Only useless until some idiot breaks the internet for everybody eh?
(wink)
I bought a CD player and only afterward began reading up on streamers. I bought a Bluesound 2 months later and the player has gone unused since.
Just purchased a Roon nucleus. Hopefully it arrives this week. Been hearing nothing but great things about it and how it makes your CDs obsolete.
Personally I like owning all my music and not relying on the internet. I ripped all the physical media because it’s more accessible from a hard drive.
