This isn’t nostalgia. This is ‘Unless i own the physical thing, they can take it away because with digital you never really own it you only have a license to use it.’
I own my digital files.
I didn’t necessarily purchase all of them but i still own them. No one is going to delete them off my computer.
We also have the ability these days to back up a lot of our physical media. It wasn’t so easy back when those things were new.
Agreed. I buy physical versions wherever possible. Plus video and audio are generally higher quality than streaming/digital purchases.
oh that isn’t to say I don’t have digital, backed up in a few places. I simply recognize that legally speaking everyone is now outright saying ‘you do not own this we are giving you a license to use it.’
yea no. I am going to ensure my things will go either to my niece, or to those I feel are deserving when i shuffle off this mortal coil.
It is nostalgia. As the article correctly describes: If you just want your physical copy, the humble Audio CD is where it’s at. Every other audio format is worse. I also collect vinyls, but that really is not about the audio quality and if they weren’t so unspectacular, collecting CDs would make more sense

Quality is reason. No stream is as good as a UHD copy of a movie when it comes to audio and video.
There’s an argument to be made for DRM-free digital downloads over UHD discs, though those aren’t easy to obtain legally (in case legality actually matters to the user).
