Years ago, I rolled my eyes at my partner for holding on to CDs, DVDs, and blu-rays. I want to reduce my consumeristic tendencies. After seeing how streaming and media companies control the music and movies we can enjoy, even making older work inaccessible, I admit I was wrong.

@bich Yeah, I held on to my DVD's and physical computer game library, but have all my music stored externally on digital, so I'm not worried about CD's.
Books, on the other hand, I've been making sure to buy whenever I read the digital copy and enjoy it.

Similar here. I'm glad my husband collected physical media even when I didn't want to. -

@bich unfortunately, many of this playback devices are now obsolete due to lack of parts. Even in countries where these parts were manufactured.

@bich I managed to load all of my old music from CDs onto an MP3 player I bought to replace my old iPod. I had forgotten what it was to just sit and enjoy listening to music. We bought a bunch of CDs by Italian artists when we bought our house 25 years ago, but we haven't listened to them in a long time. I got tickled today when I realized that I was understanding the lyrics for the first time.

I noticed laptops no longer come with CD readers! I've had to keep my partner from tossing a CD player. We've had some difficulties burning MP3s from CDs.
I have started buying more ebooks and supporting the local libraries. It's ridiculous how much the ebook licenses cost for libraries.
