@dafrog6301 3 жыл бұрын

This is when music was great. To this day, I kept all of my vinyl, cassettes and cd's for music like this and others because I love this music that much. I am so glad that my younger self had love for good music to invest in buying everything that I loved and the good sense as I got older to keep it no matter what the new trends show. I also made sure to buy at least one piece of equipment to convert any of the formats into a digital format whenever I choose and still retain the original. People haven't really caught onto the fact that all the "digitized or streams" are NOT providing people with a way to truly own something they paid for, the recent shutdown of Google's music service put a spotlight on this and people were pissed. I hope people only on Spotify, iTunes, Pandora, etc don't learn that lesson again if any of them decide to shut down. In some cases, some of this music isn't available on streaming platforms as crazy as that sounds. Everyone figured that out when it came to Prince's music, again another time I was glad, I had not gotten rid of my actual collection. I was able to listen to everything being played on the radio and internet when he died and then went and digitized all my stuff and listened to it whenever and wherever I wanted, in whatever order I wanted. I was my own DJ. My go too for music remains something tangible that I can hold in my hand and know it is mine until I get rid of it.
