Digital ownership will never be as good as having your own CD or DVD.

You’re listening to your music and one day your tune is suddenly “not available in your region”. Or a film you like no longer appears in the listings.

If I really like something I’ll keep buying my own copy. Then if Apple Music or Amazon Prime decide to try take something off my hands I’ve paid for, they can’t.

DVD sales are declining, and some retailers are phasing them out, but DVDs are not being entirely discontinued. Some retailers, like Best Buy, are discontinuing DVD sales, but others, like Amazon, continue to sell them. Streaming services have become the dominant way to consume movies and TV shows.

@WonderGirl I’ve struggled to buy a film I wanted in DVD.

@Locke Music CDs are disappearing, too. Who has a CD player anymore? I used to play them from my laptop, but now laptops don't come with Optical drives. My last desktop PC did not come with an optical drive. I had to buy an external one for some old software I had on a DVD.

@WonderGirl The Xbox plays them quite well. And again you might have to hunt for but you can get albums on CD
