Perhaps it's the same phenomenon for revisiting retro-anything,  
including running late 80's BBS software.   :/   There's a kind  
of joy in establishing all the configuration requirements for a  
smoothly operating system.

I find application for all alternative methods for listening to  
music.

I don't have 24/7 unlimited internet at home, so.. CDs and LPs  
are used depending on circumstances and in which room I want to  
settle down.

I primarily access Spotify at my shop where I have DSL. When a  
song plays, it's rather convenient to look at the originating  
album to try some other tunes, or even start a playlist of  
"covers" of a particular song.

It's all good!

But when playing an LP, it's more like a special event. I'll  
take the time to focus on listening to it (and studying every  
inch of the LP cover!)  LOL. Whereas, a CD or a stream is often  
relegated as a background event.
