Discussion over physical media has been circulating following the news of Best Buy no longer carrying movies in 2024. What used to be whole sections of DVDs and Blu-Rays are now empty shelves. Almost like a skeleton of what was once an omnipresent beast.
However I want to skew the discussion to music as I think this is an interesting area when it comes to physical media. I don't think we kicked much of a fuss when we saw CDs and tapes disappear from stores when compared to games and movies, as the simple convenience of having large accessible music libraries has made us overlook the need for owning this type of media. I also attribute iTunes helping this transition.
What does JA think about this? Do you still want to own the music you listen to on a daily basis? And if so how do you like to listen to it - CD, vinyl, digital MP3 or FLAC copy? Do you still or want to own your own music?
