I moved house with 3000 CDs once. I bought an iPod the month after and sold them all. Eventually this turned into Apple Music. I hope there isn’t a CD revival because the cost, logistics, transport and storage for the things was abhorrent.
There are literally only 5 tracks from my entire collection that weren’t on Apple Music in the end and more than one member of my family can listen to the same CD at the same time. That’s a pretty big admin and versatility win.
- rob74 4y agoMy strategy against this is listening to music on Spotify first, but if I really like an album or an artist and keep returning to them, I'll buy the CD.
- xeromal 4y agoThat's a reasonable strategy. I do the same thing with movies. I collect 4k UHD discs for my favorite movies, rent movies I want to see in the highest quality, and stream the rest.
- Kaibeezy 4y agoI do that with books. I read mostly on my phone, but I'll search for a hardcover 1st edition of favorites and try to get them signed by the author. That's worked pretty well with Stephenson, less so with Dostoevsky.
- Melatonic 4y agoI'm waiting for 8K to become more mainstream before I do that
- Melatonic 4y agoSame here. Or more likely I just buy digital FLAC downloads
