These days all of the music i listen to is in a digital format. I buy mp3s from Bandcamp (mostly), i do not use any of the streaming sites as i regard them as evil. Don't rip off artists, unless it is Gary Glitter or something. However, in the past i used to buy and listen to a lot of music on a variety of physical, and analogue, formats.
This included compact discs of course, i used to have hundreds of them. I still have quite a few though never listen to any of them, and i'm not sure if i still have a player. Going back further, the first music i ever bought was on cassette format, and of course i used to make compilation tapes on TDK90s to play on my Dad's car stereo.
I miss cassette tapes, and i actually have a trio of recent albums released on the format which i haven't got around to listening to yet, because i didn't have a decent player. That has changed with the arrival of this neat little music box which i have just treated myself to. It also has a radio tuner, and can even play mp3s via USB or SD card, though i got it to play tapes and a retro thrill it is. I have the latest album by my current favourite artist Yota on order. I have it as mp3 already of course but getting it on cassette will be fun.
