Yeah, I get it: Spotify, Amazon Music, iTunes, etc., etc., etc. :roll: Sure, you can stream music for free or minimal cost or torrent audio files for free, but I like OWNING something, and by something I mean something I can touch and see, in addition to hear. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but there's something about paying someone for a temporary right--a license--to listen to music that sticks in my craw, unless I'm attending a live concert and paying for THAT experience. And just try selling your MP3 collection. I have the storage space, so when I can buy a CD from Amazon and it comes with a "free" MP3 version, why not? It's gotten to the point where you can buy the CD version for little more or even less than the digital version. Same with DVDs and Blu-rays. People will buy a digital movie on Vudu or some other platform when they can go to Walmart and buy the Blue-ray, DVD, digital download version for a few dollars more. Sometimes you can pay LESS for the actual disc. It's crazy. I have taken old DVDs and stepped them up to HD using the VuduToGo app for five bucks a pop, so I'm not completely numb to an all-digital format. I've built up a substantial Vudu library doing this. Nonetheless, old habits die hard.
Anyway, vinyl is fun, but it's more difficult to keep the albums protected from damage. I LOVE CDs. Always have, and probably will to my last breath.
