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 find this too. It’s not so much the choice for me though, it’s the not being able to easily browse through a list of artists/albums like you can on a computer. All the choice in the world, yet my mind goes blank 😂
Decision paralysis. Sometimes I wish I kept a spreadsheet of my physical collection, or organized it by genre, but mostly I like browsing through it. It’s a many-years-long curation by me, for me.
Discogs is your friend. Everything I ripped I added to my collection on Discogs, plus my records. It comes in handy so often when I see an album in a charity shop or a second hand store and can’t remember if I own it or not 😂
