Do You Still Buy Physical Media? (Books, CDs, DVDs, etc.)

With everything going digital these days—streaming services, eBooks, music apps—I’m curious how many people still buy physical media. Do you still pick up DVDs, vinyl records, CDs, or physical books? Or have you gone fully digital? Personally, I still enjoy the feeling of flipping through a book. listening to a CD or having a movie collection on the shelf. There’s just something about owning the real thing. What about you?

I just bought a book today. I've been looking for it for years. I think it influenced who I am today. I can't wait until it arrives.

I do. Apple Music removed one of my favorite Poco albums from their service. That’s okay, I still have it!

i got a physical book as a gift recently and you're right, it's much better feeling than reading it online or on my laptop.

I don't buy CD or DVD..I watch online instead.. But when books are considered, I buy physical books, because I don't use kindle or online reading..

For me a real book means letters printed on paper. And lately I´m giving away my vynils because they are mostly in the second floor of my house.
