I’ve never given up collecting compact discs, buying paid downloads or collecting free downloads, then organizing my own digital library. The streaming apps mostly are ephemeral to me. I use them to check out stuff but not rely on, so I don’t waste time building playlists or adding a ton of albums. And the apps vary in usability.
Soulseek is a great application to find and share music files, i like it more than torrents which i swore off a decade ago. But I still like to buy most of my music, i just appreciate it more. And listening to CD’s on their own is great.
110% agree!
And it sounds great. I saw Bob a couple years ago in concert (probably for the last time) and while I enjoyed the concert, the sound was mostly crap. Overly loud, every instrument mixed to the same level, muddy, no ambiance. Likely a consequence of having to play large venues.
Poor Dylan’s voice was mostly drowned out on the louder songs, but at least we could tell no auto-tune was used and he wasn’t lip syncing.
Anyway, hearing the RARW songs live really made me appreciate the sound of the CD.
