Went from 8track to cassettes…. Had albums all along. Then came CD and then streaming. To me the worst thing about cd’s was remastering. A lot of the re-mixes were not as good as the originals. Agree vinyl sound is better and 12 album covers etc. I still have a brand new unopened techniques turntable. Have a recording studio and recorded several local artists and my own band… producing cd’s.
But you know…. I give Apple 9.99 a month and have access to 50 million songs. Can Bluetooth play them through surround sound system…. Or Bluetooth into my recording studio if I want, or through my truck audio system. I mean it doesn’t sound like an album but it has a lot of value….
