listening to the songs that are already stuck in your head

Even better if you have them in a physical format. Tapes forever. CDs forever. Vinyl forever.

Yes to the physical

There's a lot of advantages to physically owning music. It supports the artist and ensures that the music remains yours even if it's taken off streaming or the platform closes down. Plus, vinyl and CD tend to have considerably better audio quality. If you can, it's always better to have the physical media

CD’s are the enduring future

like many of the other responses to this post, I think that having physical copies of media ensures that there is some enduring access. It’s archival. I would also add that having the physical copies enhances engagement with the media. This is of course a privilege bc physical media is usually more expensive than digital, but I do think that consuming Digital media is often more passive. Idk. I love my phone too (and Spotify and the internet archive and Gutenberg project). But after I started collecting CDs and physical books I became very interested in getting as much as possible out of them. listening to the same album in its entirety for weeks at a time. rereading a book (Seriously, I would rarely reread a book before). Also lending the copies to friends is the best thing in the world. Like being able to share and then discus- or even just the sharing. Whether or not you get it back it just becomes a gift. Which is nice. Anyways to blabber on this last point: I don’t think that you always have to personally own and keep forever all of the physical media you accrue. just going to a library does a lot of the same good (supporting local archiving + engaging with stuff my tangibly + media becoming communal). learning that many libraries still have VHS, CDs, and DVDs available to check out changed my life. ya.
