I learned something interesting this morning.

I know the last few years vinyl records have made a huge comeback. Well it seems those old cassette tapes of yours are worth money now. They have increased 98% in value in the last year alone.

@Stereoguy Good. Not generally a fan. I used to buy LPs and tape them. Then, I'd tape CDs for car play. Prerecorded ones were yuck. Dolby sucks.

@Stereoguy Oh, me too. CD-Rs and CD-RWs, too. Recordable discs aren't archival, but they are decent and I like having them around. I have hundreds and hundreds of LPs, CDs, etc., and I couldn't live long enough to either rip or migrate them all.

@Stereoguy Fuck streaming. The dumbass public thinks that renting their content is better than owning it. It makes no sense to me. You pay and get nothing. GREAT concept. The powers that be CAN and WILL take it all away, and/or hold it captive behind inflated fees. Physical media is not convenient to own, but Sony or Netflix or NBC Universal can't just take their bat and ball and go home. But they will try to take your money and leave you with nothing. And it's working, so who am I to complain?

@Stereoguy I use those, too, but lots of their programming is unavailable to buy physically. That is my problem. Take my money and give me Ozark on BR. No? Well, there are other, nefarious ways....
