Some interesting stats from Discogs

That's good. I also think people are getting tired of computers everywhere. Computers have no substance really.

It has been growing for quite some time now and i know why there is no personal relationship with a collection of music on a computer, or streamer, or hard drive, or ipod, or mp3 player. It is just not fun like analog and vinyl is.

" Computers have no substance really " ,, but your using it right now and connecting with like minded people. That has so much value added.

Ya, I'm tire of the "computer" life too but, my world is now surrounded by it so, I embrace it. Now if only I could figure out how to get out of this chair.

Well I personally love it all. Vinyl is my favorite for the sound and the media but CDs and especially SACDs sound great also in the right set up. And CDs can be had dirt cheap as many are selling them off to go to streaming for 25 to 50 cents for a great title. So they are bargains. I have over 1 TB of lossless music on my computer that I have created from my CDs and other sources. Kind of nice just to put the computer on shuffle when you feel like it. And steaming I do the least but is great for discovering new artists. And I still have a large cassette collection and a Nak for the rough analogue sound for flashback evenings. I did give away all my 8 tracks. But I have been eyeing up some nice reel to reel units lately. So I definitely support diversity of sources as I feed my addiction. 

We r spoiled here in developed countries.... most of the world doesn’t have streaming services at all, even countries with good working internet.... of course physical media will be in use and the reason is not it’s better somehow.
