I love physical media because it’s just much easier to use. If I want to play some album in my car I put the cd in and press play. No fumbling around with search or menus, just put a disc in a slot and done. If I want a friend to listen, read or watch something I hand them a small object and they have it. No need to text them the title so they can search for it later and then forget it.
And what if you want to listen to different songs from different artists?
Physical media is great if you want to be told how to enjoy something. I’ll take the freedom anyday.
Why are you telling me how I enjoy consuming media? Muh freedom!
Nobody was telling you how to do anything. Dude was just disagreeing with the "physical media is easier to use" point of the guy above him and elaborating on why.
There are lots of options, use a CD changer, burn a mix CD, listen to the radio, run a pirate radio station. I'm not saying that physical media is always better in every situation, but neither is streaming. I like having the option depending on the situation.
