Hmm.feeling quite the opposite..having many thousands of records can come with
some difficulties.
Spent years going up n down flights of stairs,long walkways with heavy kg of record boxes..proper back breaker
Having to dedicate whole rooms of house to storage..moving house becomes a real task.
CD,for me,was a stab to the heart,plus the industry shooting itself in the foot..not only did they give away the good copy protection with vinyl..they actually started giving the music away for free (in my case..in form of the british libraries)
When cd first hit the scene- any library card holder could hire out over 10 items per visit..i totally abused this service without shame,and to date,literally bought less than a handful of cd. (booo to them!)
Then there is tape..heh..horrid music mangling devices..best left well alone..at least with vinyl there was always master plate originals which could not get mangled in a machine.
