Just wait until all them there streaming sites go down and you lose all your music. Same day your hard drives crash! Then you'll all be licking your lips to get your hands on my ceeddees.

To be honest I'm always really glad to have CDs and a battery powered CD player during powercuts. Streaming will never offer the same experience as flitting through a CD booklet.

Liking physical media is fine, if that's your fetish. Bitching continually about defective physical media is funny, if that's what you keep buying. I mean I wouldn't say expecting a CD not to be warped is bitching. Although SHites sometimes take it too far, as scratches and dirt on CDs can be fixed rather easily (I fixed my copy of AM by Arctic Monkeys with toothpaste and warm water the other day when it was skipping) One thing I wish they'd do away with is this new 'paper/card' sleeve case trend. I've noticed CDs that come in these seem more prone to dirt and grime and there's not really an easy way to transfer the art to jewel cases as there often oversized.

Liking CD's are fine - I buy them all the time. Cheap today, easy to rip them.
SHiTE thinking however is that if any album is released as a download or stream only, that they will simply refuse to even listen to it. In a few years that will be the norm, but then again they only listen to the same 30 albums over and over for the last couple of decades.

I doubt it will ever be the norm for albums not to get physical releases. Not least because there massively useful in the charts compared to streams.

For the most part I am about the art far more than the artifact. A flac file and a cd are going to sound the same and I don't need the clutter. I don't stream much, but I have made peace with the fact I probably will at some point in the near future.
It wasn't that long ago that CD SHiTEs were bagging on the Vinyl SHiTEs for continuing to buy records and then complaining about the non-fill, warped records, off center etc... now that quality control seems to be slipping on the big dumb CD boxsets of music they already have, the CD complaints sound extra funny. I'll let you know when piracy starts warping.

Thanks mom. I'll take your advice under consideration.

That Cream CD set from earlier this year not ripping properly was the final straw for me. I'll still buy stuff occasionally either out of necessity (there are still some things that can't be downloaded!) or even out of novelty (I got a CD of the new Taylor Swift album.) But ultimately it's just a medium and if it's not only that streaming and downloading has surpassed it, it's that the quality has gone down. I have maybe 1000 CDs in total. Let's say, pre-2012, only two discs ever gave me an issue. (And one still played fine, so I bet a newer computer would have managed to rip it without a glitch). Post 2012 discs? At least ten with some issue. Plus all the extra inflated bullshit of the box set age. Books I'm never gonna read, tchotchkes I'm never gonna stick up my ass. It's not fun anymore. And it even starts to take away from the music itself. Now I gotta be frustrated that the 200 dollar box of shit I ordered came late, arrived scuffed, discs didn't rip, etc. I'm not even in the mood to play the goddamn remastered Red Rose Speedway now. I don't need an exercise in futility. This shit is supposed to be fun. I got a lot of enjoyment out of the new Goats Head Soup without any silver spinning circles.
And Cola, thanks for the advice about ripping. But you know what? More and more, laptops aren't even coming with an optical drive. Even the one I'm using now was a slightly older model than everything else that was for sale. And to quote my old man, more moving parts means more things to go wrong. Hopefully I don't trash this laptop and can keep it as a back up device and use it to rip shit when it does come time to get a new computer.

It already is the norm for genres like rap and electronic music, not to mention independent labels and artists. If one doesn’t do downloads or streaming and wants to listen to a wide variety of modern music, it will be either challenging or impossible.
