Yep, I also love music. I am a bit older, 37, and I still buy mp3s and CDs because I enjoy owning and sharing music without boundaries. Also, when I stop paying for streaming I own NOTHING. I only use streaming to discover music every now and then.

I knew staying subbed would payoff one day.

a video in 8 years, wow, I just saw your why physical music video

Not if your selling the cd to someone else

I've listened to a lot of music, and this is easily my "island" album. I credit it with starting my musical journey. It's nice to see others enjoy it, thanks for the video.

I prefer the drop that contained the sea. Personally

what a funny guy, shame he hasn't uploaded in 7 years. i know someone a year from now is going to read this comment and be: "oh that must be 8 years now"

Commenting to just let ya know that someone watched your 8 year old video ...❤️...why don't you post anymore ???

Streaming services don't have a lot of the music that is available on Physical formats.

Are you trying to say something or play music?

I'm trying to practice and start to be a dj. So having the actual file is important because streaming isn't always reliable

There are a million reasons. But is it worth the price? Unlimited music for 10 dollars/month OR one cd for 10-20 dollars? Maybe for someone who has a lot of money to spend it's a great hobby. But don't bash us music lovers who live on a tight budget.

I have 20,506 songs on my pc, and yes I have it backed up as well. I rather own the songs instead of streaming. Heck, I haven't used a streaming site for music yet.

I love lndian film music and Armin van Buren trans music

I am an Indian and a audio CD collector still now and bicycle lover

I look at this way: I have converted all my CDs to MP3. I had 500 CDs. I downloaded a lot and i bought a lot. I love to buy, i love to support the artists. I like Tidal as a subscription, they pay the artist that you play a lot of, and they pay good amounts, not pennies, but they are expensive. My collection is 385GB, about 32 thousands tracks. It would take me 210 days of 24 hour listening to hear each song. I like 7digital, but they have a weak selection. I love to buy. I was not able to convert my records and tapes. I gave them away in 1999. I could kill myself for that. I had 300 records, all classics, picture disks. I had about 180 tape cassettes. Anyway, i digress ...i look at this way, When i am old and retired, when i have to watch the penny, i will not have to pay a music subscription. I will have my library that i can listen to forever. I will not need to be on a subscription service to play my tunes. As well, if pay 12.99 a month for 20 years, that is - $3117.6 i have paid to a music subscription service. When i cancel a subscription, i have NOTHING. NADA, memories of when i played tunes, memories of the fun and convenience the music service provided. #k for memories.. If i spend that 3K on my own downloads, i have music i own, in my library. I think music subscription is very useful and handy, and it gives you a avenue to discover new music, but i still purchase my stuff. For me, why pay 3K and end up with nothing. I want to be in my rocking chair on my patio, sippin' my wine, listening to my jams! I want to enjoy my library, that is what i will pay for. I will have my thousands of songs i can play anywhere. My money supported the artist and it did not go into the pockets of the subscriptions services. YES! Lets look at two people, one paid Spotify for 20 years and me next to them that bought my music for 20 years. Mr Spotify cancels the subscription cause it is now 30.00 bucks a month, and now has a pot to piss in. Me, i have 45 thousands songs that are mine and i can pass on when i die. My risk, the format becomes obsolete and i cannot play them. hmmm

It would be helpful to know what websites you can still buy legal mp3 from?

Great video. I buy CDs and then import them into my ITunes so I can listen on my IPod. That way I have the quality of CDs 💿 while having the option of Itunes for the same convenience of Streaming.

But what about buying music electronically like on iTunes for example? You still own the music but you don’t get that experience of having it physically. Is it still worth it? or is this argument only valid for cassettes, vinyl, and CDs?

Spotify is free and i can't afford cds lmao

My philosophy is streaming is no better than pirating, artists receive barely anything from streaming (especially Spotify). If you want to support your favorite artists then buy physical

😎

I am not everybody so I bay my music that I love 😬

W spotify : *No attachement to music , *no experience of holding it/buying it, *after end of service or being offline you dont own music, *it's not collectible *and most of all it's lossy mp3 320quality

True. I prefer to buy records.

Also not every music artist has put their entire music catalogue on spotify, so you don't have access to everything ever released in the world. Some bands put none & some put 1 or 2 albums. Some are now taking all their music off it due to the lack of royalty money they get, while spotify rakes in billions off the labor of musicians.

Thanks Leonard

Also physical media still outsells streaming services dispite what hipsters tell ya. I use KZbin music just for discovery if I find something I love I buy it.

I still have all my CDs from high school I copied and bought lot of them I miss copying CDs on the computer creating my own playlist but I don't have a CD player anymore so I use KZbin music for any song I like for free

Cd's for life! 🤘

Owning a physically copy of your music is the best because it's yours for a lifetime, streaming services can't match that.

I’ve bought so much vinyl, CDs, and cassettes over the years from when I was a wee lad to where I am now 25 years old. And I have to say I have quite the collection, but I had to stop buying music because of the clutter. I barely re organized everything and I came to the conclusion that I have no room. Should I sell some of my stuff to make room? Sure, that’s what I’m working on rn, but streaming services like Spotify, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, and KZbin are so convenient. Heck if I wanted to listen to vinyl quality music somebody for sure uploaded it somewhere on the internet. Lol just have to find it.

Purchasing CDs and MP3 music does hit differently than streaming for fact!!! P.S. I love using my CD and MP3 player more than my smartphone, because it feels more intimate!

Couldn't agree with you more

I don't like music streamig, but where to buy music today?

For you americans buy music is ok because you have money, we mexican people are poor so streaming is a better option for we the poor...

I have a nice size CD collection, about 2100 CD's I have fun searching for what I want to listen to and also have Pandora on my phone. I also have a cassette tapes and records 💯💪

I feel that music companies should release music on all the major formats - vinyl, tape and cd. This would ensure that all formats and their associated industries stay alive, and the consumer gets what he/she wants.

The best reason is that the listener has control and doesn't need to reley ont the Interent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Music saves my mental health.ive started collecting cd buy buying in amazon.im not a fan of spotify.now music is dead becouse it's digital.

Physical will always be better

1. You can download the songs on Spotify. So you aren’t dependent from any Wifi connection. 2. If your Spotify device gets broken is your library still safe in the cloud. But if your house burns down is your library gone forever. 3. It’s usual for most young unknown artists to only publish their songs online because it’s for them the only affordable way to publish their music. There are cases where an artist earns more from my many Apple Music streams compared to buying the songs on iTunes. Yes: one time buying the song on iTunes means more money then one stream on Apple Music. But Apple Music doesn’t count the streams of music that you already bought once on iTunes. So they would earn less if I would own their songs.

Several albums I have downloaded or even purchased I am unable to listen to certain tracks being omitted. I’m sure this is due to licensing but this sucks because I have paid full album price. Physical copies are always the best, be it cds, vinyl records or even tape.

Been buying mp3s instead of streaming. I like knowing that I control my music and can listen to it anytime 🙂

dude i agree with everything you’re saying but i stg the music makes me feel like i’m watching a dying father crying out his last words to his 10 year old child or something

my personal favorite way to get music is to buy from amazon as you mentioned(cd/mp3) variant or vinyl.also, you can rip a higher quality version of that cd to use in a mixing app like Moises :)

I have a balance of 1) buying CDs/physical media 2) digital music 3) burning

I buy lots of CDs.

I would LOVE to buy like 20 or even 30 my most favorite albums by Buckethead just to support not to listen from those disks, but having it would make my feel so good! Unfortunately I live in country very fsr from Americs and my parents dont allow to buy anything with my credit card and they would get upset as I am buying music when I could just listen to it for free...
