    I recently revived my record player and CD player and I’ve been enjoying three things:

    1. You have to think about what to listen to,
    2. the player is completely offline and separate from the devices you work and communicate on, so nothing will interrupt and you feel you’re doing something different, and
    3. it means you listen to whole albums, not mixed up playlists, so you get deeper into it.

    What I don’t enjoy is that records in particular are ridiculously expensive now. I don’t know who can afford them. So I’m stuck with the records and CDs of my youth and whatever I can find in bargain bins.

    I do also use Qobuz and… other means of obtaining music.
