Why Cd’s are always going to be better than online downloads

I am ripping some of my CD collection into iTunes, and came across this Dinosaur Jr. CD. It is self titled, dated 1985, black and white single page insert. It says “Recorded at Chris Dixon’s House”. It’s got a few peoples home addresses on it, and is on some obscure record label.

Sure, one day, this stuff may make it into some online store, but you will never get the awesome nostalgic feeling I just got, while holding this physical CD in my hand. It is a collectible, no matter how old your binary files get, they will never be collectable.

Yeah, I know :-)
To be honest, I have some Cd’s that are now 15 years old, and none of them have ever been an issue. I dont listen to the actual CD, they are more or less my backup. Most of them are replaceable, some are rare though.
