Does streaming cheapen our connection to music?
I grew up on vinyl and CDs, but my teenage kids only know streaming. When I took them to a record store last weekend, they were amazed by the album art and liner notes—things I took for granted. Does the convenience of streaming actually cheapen our connection to music, or are we just nostalgic for a format that was never that great to begin with? The tactility of a physical record forces you to listen differently, but I also love having 50 million songs in my pocket. I'm genuinely torn, and I'd like to hear how others balance this in their own listening habits.
