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
First let me say I LOVE physical media. But at least 90% of my listening is not a full album start to finish. The playlist is my go to listening mode and that is difficult to replicate with pure physical media.
I’ve ripped every CD I own to my Emby server and make the playlists from there. Serves me well in the way that I like to enjoy my music.
