God help us all.
Although I'm in the camp that likes to have files saved locally, as opposed to streaming.
Perhaps a carryover of low bandwidth days, and the fact that it is much easier to share the music with different devices when I have it saved on my own physical drive.
The streaming services offer a much wider selection of music but I find myself listening to ripped CD files and downloads more often. In addition to the CD rips on my music server I have boxes full of CDs and vinyl stored in the basement and a sense of security that goes along with it. I guess old guys like physical media. ;-)
My problem is that I'm getting older (67), and no one else in my family gives a tick about my music system or my CD collection. I have thousands of CDs/SACDs, and I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. I have this horrible dream where my wife and kids just throw them in big plastic trash bags and haul them off to the dump. As more stuff is available from lossless and hi-res streaming, I can give away those CDs (unless, of course, they are among my favorites!). That's the plan, anyway.
No one in my family cares about vinyl records or CDs. I have similar plans to give away my media to a young audiophile who will appreciate it.... but not for a few years. I still have plenty of life in me, I think. ;-)
