In fact, I'm going to go buy a new one tomorrow.

I have too much money invested in CDs. Plus, while I don't like the fidelity as much as I do on vinyl it's much better than a horribly compressed computer file.

Oh yeah, I have a turntable too.

And yes, I'm approaching old fart territory.

It actually plays CDs, records, cassette tapes, the radio, and can use Bluetooth to connect to my phone or iPad. Somehow I’ve gotten nostalgic for the simpler ways to of listening to, and owning, music.

I can pull up any song from any album from anywhere in the world using any device.

As I've aged, I find I don't listen as much as I used to. But that may just be me.
