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

    by owning the CDs, you’re not beholden to anyone’s interests in keeping the albums available for streaming.

    You are 100% correct about this, and I have thought about it greatly.

    The flip side is with streaming you have access to so much more music than you could ever consider purchasing.

    The “right” answer is to do both - pay for streaming AND buy what you like, what touches you. But that’s just not realistic for most.
