    That sounds a lot like how people test vinyl records. They objectively don't sound as good as digital playback, but there is a sort of mindfulness / ritualistic approach to listening to them, since each album you play is a very intentional physical act of placing the disk and needle, and you don't control the order songs play. It's very different from putting on headphones and letting Spotify feed you music while you do chores.
