I do! I own CDs and vinyls. I collect mainly CDs because they are smaller and need less storage.
Do you just collect the CDs or do you also play them with a CD player? I feel like it's not even worth the hassle of getting a system set up to play CDs compared to a record player because the quality won't be as good.
I've got a good couple dozen of CDs I bought over the years when I hadn't used Spotify yet - moved to self-hosting now - and I was always wondering if I should work on actually playing CDs instead of just burning them
Beyond the "experience". If you rip the CD into something lossless, it should be audibly the same. Vinyl versus CD. People claim "warmth" difference.
