I Don't Have Spotify

I still buy CDs. It's true a number of modern artists do not release on physical media, although vinyl is making a comeback.

Same. Especially for backfilling your collection, used CDs are incredibly cost effective and DRM free.

Try BookOff, yard or estate sales, or "friends of the library" events. You will burn some time searching, but the hunt can be fun on its own.

I got one that wasn't; the music CD was published by SONY JAPAN. Had to do some shenanigans to play it on a PC drive. Decided it was best to rip it just in case.

As someone approaching 50, the return of Vynil is quite strange feeling.

I now see record stores so full of Vynil that it feels like I timetraveled back to my teenage years when CDs started to being sold, alongside laser discs on a little store corner.
