Just to clarify some things: Since Spotify blocked cracked apps, my main goal was to have free music along with my CD collection(which grows slowly). So now days, one day it could be couple CD’s, and the other music from the internet Youtube(FreeTube and NewPiPe), BandCamp, SoundCloud and Qobuz(wink wink). I listen my CD’s at home(sometimes when I commute to work), outside I use my smartphones, which they have MP3’s and HiFi flacc files.
It didn’t took me long, maybe couple months until my collection did actually grow and I would actually listen more frequently.
Also regarding hassle changing, it’s less hassle than changing a vinyl! and it has more music in it. 1 hour+.
I would suggest try and see what works best for you! There is nothing wrong ripping and storing them, many people do it. If you end buying a cd player, you could only spin on weekends. It’s up to you! I’m just a romantic guy who likes do stuff the old way, because I don’t really fit on the new world lol.
Thanks for the detailed write-up and the “Qobuz” link - hadn’t heard of that before. Looking forward to them adding API access so I can add the site as an app to my server more easily.
Also I imagine it’s really cool to have that, literal, physical connection to your music. Makes it more tangible and more substantial since you curate what you listen to more so than just via downloads.

I’ll think about what I’ll do with my CDs!
