   Hello Kevin Nunn!

   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.
