Having just got a vinyl player and a DVD player to deplug and own things again this is real.

I also deleted any algorithmic social media, all part of a New Year's resolution to not be advertised to constantly and feel drained all the time.

It's slightly tough right now, but I hope it'll get easier. At least I'm reading more books!

I haven't gone back to physical media, but I bought a MP3 player last month and it's so nice to listen to music on a dedicated device (with a headphone jack!).

Been thinking about this too, how good are they these days?

As we're not in the era of limewire I wonder how easy it is to use, and what the audio quality is like on dedicated MP3 players.

It only gets easier from here.
