I like having physical media. Not sure why, exactly. Streaming is okay for background music, but I don't want to be picking songs from a screen while I'm listening or in between selections.
Just like browsing through your albums, looking through your CD collection oftentimes brings up a music selection that has fallen off your radar, until you put it in the CDP and hit play. Than you remember why you liked it so much. Oftentimes it's the art work that gets your attention.
I retired my disk spinners five years ago and find the converse to be true. Which also allows me to mix them seamlessly with my high resolution 24 bit library. To each his own I guess.Just like browsing through your albums, looking through your CD collection oftentimes brings up a music selection that has fallen off your radar, until you put it in the CDP and hit play.
I can assure you music server libraries facilitate all of the above, more faster, more extensively, and with vastly greater ease of access AND with advanced searching capabilities unavailable to you flipping through your boxes of CDs. Randomized playing of at the album or song level within various playlists makes sure almost everything gets played at least occasionally. And you can sort your library by inverse order of popularity to provide fertile ground from which to mine that "old gold" you mention. Just sayin'...
Does not seem technically possible.I am just finding it so much better sounding to play streaming music.
Not this again thanks for jumping in quick hjames that subject always gets ugly quick.Basically, you buy the data on the disc.
Recommended you retain the disc to prove legal ownership.
Toss the disc at your own risk ...
But that's a topic to ask about and discuss in another thread,
rather than run this one off the rails and ruin this discussion.
200 Billion CDs were produced by the year 2007 and they are still cranking them out although at a much reduced rate. When I start to see them in piles at the landfill I will know that the CD is on it's way out.I wonder in like 10 years if CDs will be pretty much gone.
Oh c'mon Joe. .......Dip yer toes in the stream for awhile (tis free for month or two). Better chance than not you'll find the "water" is just fine and a worthy addition to your musical experiences! If not, in any event, you should at least come away acknowledging that on-demand streaming is far more than just "paying for radio".I refuse to pay to "listen to the radio"
? This proclamation (deleting and/or keeping originals) has been armchair bandied about alot here and on other forums.If you "ditch" the CD's, legally you have to delete the files from wherever you have them stored.
Is it really so?I didn't know that.
? Citation please *not here...see belowCopyright provides for the keeping of an archival copy. If you trash the CDs after ripping them you’re good. If you sell or donate them now there’s 2 copies in use and only 1 was paid for. That’s illegal.

As I noted above, I agree this is not the thread to derail. But it doesn't have to "get ugly" if managed properly. Personally I'd really like to see it cited rather than just bloviated misinformation. Film at 11 elsewhere.Not this again thanks for jumping in quick hjames that subject always gets ugly quick.
