Yup. Doesn’t feel widely popular yet but I think it will increase especially thanks to Sony discontinuing physical releases. My family luckily is getting there too.

Started this year with CDs, games, vinyl, books and DVDs. Buying second-hand is great too; sure, streaming looks “cheaper” at first glance but I can do with my property what I want and don’t lose it if I can’t afford a subscription, the service goes down or they lose licenses. It’s preservation, too, and if need be can be lent out to others.

Plus, I’m just discovering the joys of making my own mixtapes and burning CDs. Spotify playlists are… good, of course, but it feels like an actual thing now.
