      Thanks for sharing. Different devices mean different things to people. And people can get weirdly attached to them. Im not immune, I still have my first tape player. Its a clock now, since the batteries last for years.

      I personally think its a combo of the “new” services attached to a monthly payment, owning something “real” like a cassette/disk/etc…etc…, and the price being VERY cheap for music. For the price of one spotify subscription, you can go to a small music store and get a metric ton of old music. And trade with your friends. Just my 2 cents.
