Charlie, I knew nothing about the compression. Threw out hundreds of CDs a few years ago, but based on your knowledge, I will save them; it's just SO MUCH easier to push a button on my computer on Spotify than move 5 CDs in the changer, which STILL WORKS after 20 years! Also, did you know on Spotify you can tpye in for ex., "Paul Simon radio?" And both his songs and songs of a similar genre will appear? So the music NEVER ends!

Streaming is great for the sake of convenience, but it's just not the same as sitting down and listening to a record front to back while reading the liner notes.

An ancient ritual, I'm afraid.
