I also have a large Vinyl and CD collection. My large reel to reel tape collection is gone; the tapes disintegrated as did my small cassette collection. I was never a fan of cassettes and I hated 8 track tapes; I'm glad that fad didn't catch on!

But I also know that musicians, especially computer musicians, are a very small percentage of the population. You can thank the school systems for eliminating the music and art programs. but I digress. I also know that a lot of the younger population have the attention span of a gnat! If it isn't instantaneous its to slow. Thus they only want the songs they like and they want them now. Plus they want it portable so they can take it with them.

Although I still buy CDs I have to agree with the author. Streaming and individual song DLs are the wav (pun intended) of the future.

PS - I still read books. I want a book in my hand not some electric reader. I've never had to stop reading a book because of a dead or low battery :-}

PPS - I should change my gnat statement. The only time many of the younger generation concentrates on something it is either their phone or a video game.

My momma didn't raise a fool. And if she did it, was one of my brothers.
