I’m not a mad genx. I skipped mp3 and directly ripped my cds to flacs. Still have all my flac from 20-something-years ago. I also skipped silly streaming. I grew a massive library and use MediaMonkey. No need for stupid spotify.

Tape was superior in theory, but i hated the noise, no matter how great your equipment was.

In short: i welcomed every change, despite the last one. Instead of better quality we got lousy streaming (except tidal).
