Years ago, I rolled my eyes at my partner for holding on to CDs, DVDs, and blu-rays. I want to reduce my consumeristic tendencies. After seeing how streaming and media companies control the music and movies we can enjoy, even making older work inaccessible, I admit I was wrong.

@bich I managed to load all of my old music from CDs onto an MP3 player I bought to replace my old iPod. I had forgotten what it was to just sit and enjoy listening to music. We bought a bunch of CDs by Italian artists when we bought our house 25 years ago, but we haven't listened to them in a long time. I got tickled today when I realized that I was understanding the lyrics for the first time.
