Anyone else returning to Physical Media

[Scepticalscribe]

I never left; play my CDs and Blu-ray concerts all the time.
I do appreciate, however, streaming a new album/artist before plunking down any cash, and listening to so many things from my past that I either couldn’t afford or have the time back then.

This is me. I only buy CDs and Blu-ray DVDs as I always believe people want to own their own media and not be subject to the whims of the content cartels. I always predicted that streaming would become another cable TV quagmire.

And this is also me.

I still listen to - and play, and buy - CDs, play music on my iPod Classic, (or computer's iTunes), and listen to classical music on the classical music station on the radio.....

And yes, while part of the reason is that I do like the (physical) tactile experience of physical media, equally, I also detest the rentier model promoted by the entertainment industry, and prefer (by far) to actually own my own media (such as my vast collection of CDs, and LPs).

If you already have a CD player, you might want to consider just going with an external carplay screen. That's what I did. It was cheap and easy, and works really well.

I bought one. But I don't have surface for it at my car. No flat surfaces to use.
