Physical Media (Blu-Ray, Music CDs) (self.technology)

Ever since I got my Michael Jackson Thriller CD, I've been thinking, I have started to prefer physical releases more when it comes to films and music, because it's nice to have something you own in your hands, lend to a neighbour, and rip to your devices.

With streaming, I've cut off some services as I got tieed with the price hikes and removals of specific titles, sure, your music might be lost if you lose your phone and you can just resign in with your account on say, Spotify.

But even those have issues where they can remove the track, with CDs and Blu Ray, it ain't going away if you keep looking after it.

What are your thoughts on this? Are you big into streaming due to convenience, or do you go physical? Or maybe a bit of both?

Let me know in yer comments!

I'm an old fart, and the minute I can digitize something, I do it. I've had thousands of 45s, LPs, CDs, etc, over the years, but most have gone by the wayside.

I still buy physical media, often at gigs, or online, but once it's ripped it collects dust, seldom to be handled again.
