CD sales grow for first time since 2004
Similarly related, I've been collecting UHD blu-rays for the past year and have been enjoying it greatly.<p>Lawrence of Arabia is being released as a 4k scan later this year and I'm pumped!<p>I think there are a few parts to physical media collection<p>* No fear of the media getting "Cancelled" and you losing access to it<p>* Quality is always consistent. 4k and high quality audio bit rates generally do ok when streaming but start artifacting when there are any hiccups in your connection. I have GB service and I Still have low quality moments on my streaming.<p>* Collecting items scratches an itch I didn't know I had<p>* With vynyl and CDs, listening to a whole album shows you songs that you wouldn't normally consider or search for. Spotify makes it easy to skip a song you may not like but I tend to try out new songs on my record player and sometimes I like new things<p>* The artwork for blu-rays, vynyls, and CDs can be beautiful and make a nice addition to a shelf or library in your living room.
