Convince them to drop a couple grand on stationary audio equipment and you're on your way to riches.

This generation and a couple before it.
This 46 year old does 50% of his listening like this - Galaxy 4 and Sennheiser Momentums.

Bought part of a nice CD collection at give-away prices. I left a lot of material because I'm not greedy and already have a lot -- I know, one can never have enough!
Undoubtably, someone with such a nice collection has probably gone exclusively to downloads. I wonder if the quality really mattered??
I'm still buying CDs and vinyl but I rarely play it. The vinyl to record it to digital and the CDs get ripped directly to the PC.
Lossless and high rez downloads recently surpassed CDs in my collection (378 to 375). Vinyl ~ 1500. No doubt the downloads I'm getting sound better on average than the CDs I buy. I download mostly live and/or demo recordings.
Recordings made from my TT sound better than the CD and playing everything back digitally sounds close enough (for me) to the original and preserves my CDs and vinyl.
I know youngsters with 100K+ songs who are very much musicologists, in fact I run into young people like this far more often than audiophiles. It's some what hard to get them to give up the convenience of mp3 for lossless in spite of them hearing the obvious differences. This is where , IMO, the battle lies. The cost of SS HDs and SD cards coming down and the availability of high rez DAP helps bridge the difference between lossless and mp3 as well as gives the youngsters access to self contained HiDef systems. Throw powered loudspeakers into this mix and one can get into entry level audiophile quality gear for under a couple of grand. Something our generation never experienced.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
