I like digital and do digital and could do more digital but it's boring in respect of having something physical... with no physical artwork or that beautiful needle drop moment it's pretty vague.
Physical media has a place in life. Makes you realise that you have something real rather than the feeling like you just have something.
40,000,000 albums is bonkers... lol - all cool if that's what you like but IMO I just wouldn't know where to start in all honesty and I think (in the end) I'd just switch it off and put a record on. Too much choice, too complicated unless it's on shuffle for background music.

I'm Nigel.
Or a nice iPad Mini running iPeng.
Like others, I still prefer the pleasure of real browsing- of shelves of round things stored in square things so they don't roll onto the floor. I'm not really fussed whether they're silver or black round things but like the chance encounter, the corner of the eye "crikey I haven't listened to that for years" discovery which just doesn't happen with streaming - well not for me.
But I'm pleased I have Spotify in my armoury.
Sure.. iva ipad, 2 iphones and a android tablet and phone. I use them depending where i am etc. Sometimes if the kitchen pc is on i will stream from it down my extra long usb to the dac head amp too. Its really good spotify lets you do this. Tidal doesnt

In case anyone gets the wrong impression (as they often do) I am not knocking streaming services or the people who use them. I hope they survive and start making some money. It just isn't something I need. I can check a band out on You-Tube if I want to. No need to sign up for anything (I hate doing that even if it is a free service).You don't need good sound quality to know if the music is going to do it for you or not.
I treat listening to music as a special event, I like to sit down and do it properly. If I need background noise the tv or the radio will do, I barely notice it anyway if concentrating on something else. Get a beer on the go, no other distractions, proper volume level that does it justice, and get a couple of quality hours in. Then it might be to or three days before I listen to music again. I know I will always feel 'the hunger' again at some point.
