I personally want to buy a CD-player and a laptop with a DVD drive and start collecting CDs and DVDs again. I think that it's nice to own a physical copy of something. I also think this will make me listen to albums and watch movies more. I'm done with Netflix and Spotify since you don't own the media you consume and they can take it down anytime. But it's also nostalgia for me since DVDs and CDs were everywhere in my childhood and we went to the record store and the video store a lot.

But what do you think about it? And what do you think about CD vs Vinyl vs Cassette?

    As an end user I much prefer digital copies without DRM over physical copies. The only reason I would keep physical copies of something is to showcase on a shelf which I personally don't do. The only exception is PS5 games where I prefer physical because I can buy pre-owned copies and sell them once I am done.
