I'm all about CDs. I can play them in my car without worrying about battery levels or data caps.
Same... Except that in addition to a CD player my car also has its own "jukebox": a HDD on which I can upload either mp3 or wav files (but no FLAC sadly). The nav system shares the same HDD. To me its great: it's just enough technology, while still being off the big nasty Internet grid.
No worries about neither battery levels nor data caps nor corporate surveillance.
I've got a ~10 year old audi with the HDD as well as Dual SD Card Readers. When i first bought it I thought that was absurd, but now that i have it loaded up with multiple 128GB SD cards its actually a pretty good feature.
But, if I want digital, and ability to skip tracks, I can just stream, no?
Most streaming services offer streams that are less than the quality of CDs since CDs are uncompressed PCM. I don't know what compression streaming services use and most people probably couldn't tell the difference between them and CDs. Though, with CDs, you own the license forever, there's no DRM, and you never have to pay again. You can use the music however you want within fair use.
