I might be asking a rhetorical question here but I was curious as to the overall consensus on physical media. Do support it because, unlike streaming, media can’t take away what you’ve payed for? or are you against because it’s a waste of money when you can “acquire” it through “alternative means?” I’m also thinking about getting a 4K Blu Ray player for when my wife and I get a new place; preferably one that can also play self hosted media. What do you guys think?
As others have noted… it is a balancing act between having the room for it and what you value enough to spend that space on.
For me, I don’t buy a whole lot of music, but when I do I insist on CD’s or vinyl and then I rip them. All the ease of digital along with a built in hard backup.
