Youngsters these days.

I’m a CD guy so I shouldn’t have any problem with digital...and I don’t. Havn’t streamed yet but my kid does and its fine...except for the music itself. I’m not much for pop music unless in the car. At home, it’s classical and other period music, most sonatas, some blues, some folk, some alternatve rock, some classic rock and lastly, some Swedish heavy rock...ah, Sabaton..among others.

I plan to stream shortly and use bluetooth but I still enjoy finding CDs I like. The lastest acquisition is Brahms Complete variations played by Wolfram Schmitt-Leonardy...very, very nice. On a brilliantclassics label import...try finding that streamed.
I don’t do vinyl except to resell to feed the hobby. Equipment used Hegel h160, Focal 807W, Marantz 6006 as transport. Cheap bluray for movies.

Vinyl? If I easily found what I liked, maybe I would, but I’ve no desire. Does it sound better? Not at the volumes I typically play at, which is low to moderate. If I want snap, crackle, pop...I eat cereal. Though, I remember that Hotel California sounded better on vinyl. That could be that I was younger with better hearing, or I romanticize that it did or perhaps it was mixed to sound better on vinyl. If I listed to more classic rock at home, I would seriously consider vinyl.

So, like the above have stated, streaming is fine when traveling, for home if in higher resolution. CDs are generally cheap. Leaving vinyl for those who have deep pockets and hipsters. Part of the fun is physically searching for finds. It’s not an adventure flipping through a website.

Lastly, it’s OK to be an OK Boomer...OK hipster?

Youth, like CDs...here one day, gone the next.

I can understand the allure of streaming, it is very convenient and youare able to discover way more music than you would ever own in the physical form. However, when I want to sit down and seriously listen through both my headphones and or loudspeakers, I much prefer the sound of my LP’s, CD’s, & my cassettes. I love the ritual of placing a physical form of media onto a turntable, a cassette well, or a cd tray. I do find streaming to be fun though....especially when I’m feeling a bit lazy and just want to browse. It’s also something fun to do with the wife, as I do not own every record ever produced, so it brings back memories when we find a song we both are familiar with and forgot about etc....

" My 24 year old grandson finished his tour in the service recently and has been staying with us for the past several months. He got himself a good job, to help out and take care of himself, while deciding what to do in the future - back to school, etc.
After he got a few good pay checks, I joking suggested he buy his Pa a new CD player. If looks could kill. "Why would you want a new CD player?" He asked. I told him "just to upgrade the one I have". "No one buys CD players anymore" he exclaimed. "Then what's your Idea of fine Audio, a WalkMan?" I asked. "WOW! There's not even any such thing as a WalkMan any more" he said. To which I replied, "Ya there is, we have a guy on our forum who swears by em". He just rolled his eyes and said "No - Streaming! Using an iPhone or iPad you can get a streaming package and get all the music you want". "Why would I want to do That?" I asked "I have hundreds of great LPs and CDs, that I'm perfectly happy with." To that he replied "OK Boomer".  I guess that meant he knew I was right.
Why is it that youngsters just don't understand the love that some of us old folks have for our old LPs and CDs and we  have no interest in paying for another monthly service, to listen to all the music we already have?

Maybe he thinks if you want a new CD player you should buy it.  When I help my family I never ask for anything in return.

I agree with @mkrus on this. 'OK boomer' and other terms do nothing but add to stereotypes and divide people. I'm 55 and my best friends range from 30 to 72. We share music, help each other out with tech stuff and respect each other, not to mention having a blast when we're together. I'm also into model trains and photography and have made some new friends on-line recently who are in high school!! We catch the local trains and have a lot of fun with video and photo editing. My advice is to have friends from all age groups---you might learn something.

People have 3 common needs - be liked, trusted and appreciated. 
We are all different and have had a different path which is a kin to music media - I have several hundred albums, a trunk full of cassette tapes, a server full of burned CDs and a Tidal subscription. 
I think the differences are minor until you are engaged with someone in the experience. Listening to vinyl, streaming or my server can all be very enjoyable. 
And I have had great discussions about music across generations. Heck this forum is intriguing because of the various viewpoints.
