  I would argue that keeping your own digital library on a home server is “better” (more convenient) than a bunch of discs that will also degrade over time.

    Indeed. The CD is just a box the digital media comes in.

    Tbf CDs are of the worst of the physical media, yet one of the best due to the ease with which one can back them up.

    Most of my CDs, DVDs, and tapes were entirely unavailable with any (conventional, anyway, or I’d have known) means of piracy (real obscure shit), or were purchased before limewire and ipods existed (of course I’m old). But vinyl has a certain charm to it, there’s absolutely no replacing physical books or comics, cart consoles are better than emulators if you have both, and sometimes just popping in a tape and being off to the races is better than hunting through netflix, yes we’re watching Rodan again.
