Interesting timing on this thread. Back in 08, I ordered my Challenger with a system that has a HDD and I had loaded over 500 songs on it from CD.
A couple months ago, the HDD and Nav system went kapoot. After many attempts to recover and replace the HDD I bought a unit off of car-part.com. It had never had any music loaded to the HDD fortunately and I got to spend a few days loading all the CDs on there once I found the box they were packed in. IMO, someday people will regret discarding them. I still have a lot of cassettes, a few 8 tracks and a bunch of VHS. My old Power Wagon has a cassette player and my Ram also plays CDs.. |

Converted to MP3 many decades ago and given away. Ended up deleting 90+% of it as I don't listen to that stuff anymore.

Threw away or gave away those dust collectors many years ago. I listen to either Amazon Prime Music or a playlist on youtube.

His comments were he has 7 streaming platforms (he didn't say which, but I know he's referenced stuff from Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Disney, and Paramount. I don't know what the other 2 are) and he ended up having to dig the DVD out of his basement like a caveman to watch the show he wanted to see. And it was predictable. Like everything else, the streaming movement started because it was cheaper and magically corporations have squeezed every possible cent of revenue out of everything (or are getting there) and to see everything you want to see, you're paying more than you used to for cable. It's certainly possible we'll see a swing back into owning the rights to media at least, if not a physical copy. |

My old CD music is on files that I can find with a lot of hassle. The new music won't let me, and it annoys me. I think Apple is going to screw me over at some point.
I might have to switch to one of those streaming services, but I hate leasing or subscribing to things. I want to make a one-time purchase, and the entire tech world no longer wants to do that. I'm moving toward the position of living an entirely off-line life at some point. I can make my own music and program my own word processing software.

I threw them all away. It's all on YouTube. Any song.

They're in a big book somewhere in my basement storage. Maybe they'll see the light of day in the next decade, probably not. I won't throw them away because they take up no space and I don't really know where they are. Prolly a couple hundred hanging out.

Still have a collection of around 4 to 5 thousand.
My vinyl collection literally dwarfs it though : [

I was a loooong holdout for online music in general. I had a decent collection of MP3s from college that's grown a decent amount of the years and always defaulted to listening to my own. My car even has a hard drive for all of my music as opposed to connecting to an online service. I finally gave into Spotify a while back though and really like it.... and it integrates better with my Echo than Amazon music did. The offline music option doesn't take a ton of storage and their music suggestions are pretty spot on (or at least deeper dives into bands I already like).
