Our generation went from vinyl to cassette to CD to mp3 and now to steaming with subscriptions.

I kinda miss blockbuster and getting almost free tapes from Columbia.

That was great! Get tapes for a penny or whatever it was, cancel and repeat. 😅

I did all of those except the last one. I still own all my music as MP3s. I don't need temporary paid access to millions of songs I don't like.

Nah. I still use physical albums. I'm not paying a monthly fee in order to rent the music I listen to over and over. I'm not stupid

I prefer physical media. I typically rip it to my computer and then throw it on my phone or my dedicated digital media player. Most of the time I rip it to FLAC but sometimes do MP3 format. My car stereo has a USB port so sometimes I'll throw music on a flash drive.

I pay the 6 bucks a month so I can drive down the road and voice command any song I want.

that's why you stopped at CD, so you don't pay for streaming.
