I could never understand why people got rid of their CDs because it usually offers a better quality sound. But there is now a resurgence of people buying physical music, including records. I also noticed that new ars have gotten rid of CD player, and this means older people with CD collections can't play music in their car unless they are more into their tech or use stream services, or pay a subscription for music.  I feel the same with movies, although the quality of DVDs isn't up to the grade of streaming. But unless you have a phycial copy somewhere, and backup if they are digital, then you don't have a copy.
