That's nice and all, but her latest album sucked. I don't really need to own it on any format.

I like a lot of music I can still only find on vinyl that was never digitally released. Some free mp3s exist of a few but I'll probably get a turntable soon. Also....to much of what I want is only available on vinyl.

You seem to like music out of Japan. Do you have a collection of imports?

What a great idea. It's safe too, as it would reflect any kind of light.

I have a small collection of import from Japan. I have been into it for awhile on a small scale. since the lockdown and having much time to explore the japanese and korean music my interest took off.

Jazz rock type funk stuff is what I'm really into. Pro rock. And it just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

but I listen to a HUGE range of music. folk to slayer, Jazz to kpop, country to classic rock. classical and EDM. everything except pop country.

a CD is a box wrapped in another box...funny as it was, I respected Lorde for selling her latest album in a box that contained a download code instead of a CD

I won't download music, to me its junk compared to CD, Like a vinyl nut job, I get a woody playing 1 disc at a time in its entirety.

if an artist won't sell CD's I can still stream them, I do stream a small amount still.But actual CD's are now my goto.so much more enjoyable.

It's actually not half-bad if you're trying to lull yourself to sleep.

assuming you download the right file, it will be literally identical to what's on your CD... because your CD is just a box that has that file in it

They don't sound as good in actual play back as the CD's.
I've tried.
Many of the albums I like sound like trash compared to the cd when streaming even on their HiRes...their stored compressed so playback is crap....

The oversampling on disc's I feel smoothes out the sound.
And the selection of download able music in high resolution music is pretty awful frankly.
