In any format? I prefer to buy video games physically and have a respectable book, VHS and vinyl record collection. Though the majority of my music and video-based entertainment are digital.
Most of my music comes from CDs, but I have ripped them to use on my iPod and in Plexamp. Also have a heap of books and dvds but more digital with these
While I do use steaming services for tv/movies and music, I’ve also got reasonably large collections of DVDs/BluRays, hard copy video games, books (never liked ebooks or even audio books) and most of all, vinyl records (over 1000 in my collection and ever -growing!)
Happy with having a mix of media, and increasingly keen to make sure I own things rather than only having them available through a stream, convenient though that is.
I prefer paper books when I can afford them as I find it easier to focus when I have a physical book to hold. And it just feels like a nicer experience.
Just books
Yuppers, my kids have a huge DVD and VHS collection of various kids movies and nature docs. I believe it promotes agency and choice better than picking through a never ending void of selection of media on streaming services. Plus we live like kings at flea markets, usually a dollar a tape or DVD.
I think nowadays MP3s are physical media.
(And technically they’re stored on a physical medium in your possession).I guess it’s no different to a CD really. Just a smaller file on a bigger storage medium.
Physical backup media. Hot mount SATA spinning drives and also USB 3 spinning drives. Some times software on flash drives. Flash drives for emegencey boot media. I sometimes transport files on flash drives too.
I’m still resolutely offline when it comes to books. I also have a lot of DVDs and Blu-rays. I sometimes even still buy some. I also still have a box of music CDs in the basement but I only listen to MP3 (no streaming).
Nope, that ship has sailed years ago.
I’ll always prefer physical media over streaming for things I like.
It’s mainly Bluray nowadays, but also some older DVDs.
Yes, CD’s, SACD’s, DVD’s, Blu-ray’s, Ultra HD Blu-Ray’s, and vinyl records. Also have some HD-DVD’s (I regret getting into it because the discs and hardware are unreliable) and Minidiscs (also regret getting into).
