Capo is right twice. First time --The music/motorcycle analogy is a poor one and the fact that it took three WAY-long posts to explain it is proof. Second time -- Spotify. There is a bit of a learning curve, but I haven't visited my CD or iTunes library for months.
And I'd like to add one more comment... there's a lot of belittling of Millennials here. I suppose that's because of "Those Darned Kids" Syndrome. My son is a Millennial (interestingly, my daughter who is just 15 months his younger is not). He's a musician and a (retired) motorcyclist. He doesn't want fake air-fins on a motorcycle and does enjoy vinyl recordings, but not exclusively. He would say that there are many many digital recordings that sound as good or better than analog could ever do and I trust his ear. He has an IRA even though he is still in graduate school. I guess it gets my back up when people generalize about Millennials, musicians, or especially Millennial musicians. I feel the same way when someone starts in on how horrible lawyers are when my daughter is studying to become one.
