Recently I completed a lossless re-rip of the entire CD collection and got me thinking about the difference in generations. I’ve tried music services and in the end I never keep them, its because my music is just that mine. Its my carefully curated playlists, its my distinct sorting of the music, its my incredible amazing and accurate album art.
Now lets talk about my 18 year old niece, she will and does use services for most if not all of her entertainment. Â She will enjoy and curate a collection as well.
But when the licensing ends the collections go with that and she has nothing. Â With streaming music services, Netflix, etc you’re essentiality leasing content for as long as its available to the service. Â Call me old fashioned but I believe if you want something you buy it! Once you take control of your media, no service can take it away its yours. Â In the end its why I continue to buy media I want to keep and control my own destiny.
No epiphany here, just something that was on my mind as I was doing my project.
For your enjoyment I’ve posted a picture of the music involved in the re-rip project.
By the relatively small number of CD’s I was tweener when it came to music had I been just a few years younger almost all of my music would have been digital.
