I collect CDs, which I see as a sort of compromise between efficiency and the desire for tangible material possessions. I still enjoy having my music around as physical objects, but CDs are overall the cheaper, more durable and more space-friendly option, and it's a lot easier to extract data from them if I want to. I'm sure I'll eventually cave in and buy some vinyl once I'm no longer able to control my urge to acquire obscure avant-garde jazz releases from the 70s and 80s that have never been re-released on CD, but for the moment there's still a wealth of weird music on CD to sate my hunger.

That's the problem with CD... The RIAA and Sony always hated them because it made it easier to rip a digital version, part of why Sony put an outright virus on some of their CD releases back in the day. That's why vinyl is making a comeback, and why a bunch of releases are vinyl only. (like the Star Trek Picard soundtrack)
