What Jamie wrote
There is something here. Streaming everything is super convenient, but you own nothing and it is up to the providers what you can stream. I used to own 1,800 CDs, hundred of DVDs, and a full laserdisc collection. I still have much of it in archive. We have a record player at our cabin and that is always fun in part because it is "not streaming". 🤔
