My almost 18 year old daughter went shopping in Norwich today and bought 3 CDs, but I doubt she will ever play them. She has a small vinyl collection too, most of which are unplayed. She values the ownership and supporting the artist, but is quite content to mainly listen to Spotify on her phone via Bluetooth headphones.

As I’ve mentioned before, she has a very broad music taste including a lot of oldies, and that’s not all to do with my influence, although that is certainly part of it. I put together a “proper” system for her in her room but she hardly used it after the initial interest so it all went back in the garage as she valued the space more than the sound quality - and to be fair, if you like listening via headphones, the sound quality with a half decent pair is pretty exceptional these days. Apparently headphones with wires are all the rage now!
