I have a few thousand LPs and a store of CD rips that still get a fair bit if use but a lot of digital listening is to streamed music these day and is exploratory. The downside of streaming is not so much the sound quality, which is pretty close to the rips through my system, but that I don’t tend to replay something that failed to grab me immediately whereas if I bought a CD or LP on spec, maybe after hearing just one track or even from a review, I will give it a few goes, quite often it will grow on me and these tend to be the albums with staying power.
I still listen to vinyl more often than digital but I’m exploring cartridges at the moment which focusses attention away from just enjoying the music.
