Tactile things are just so nice!

I think you’re preaching to the converted on this forum! We’re a community of people who like to push things around on the tabletop in place of (or, at least, as well as) gawping into a virtual world on a screen.

The CD/music thing really caught me off-guard. I never thought I was particularly jingoistic about it.
I just found that if I bought a CD from a band off the interwebs, it gave them a little boost, I got an email with personal thanks, and I still enjoyed the music. But there’s also something nice about putting on a CD and letting it play to the end – being exposed to all the album tracks, instead of bellowing “Alexa, skip” across the room because the first 20 seconds of the intro didn’t immediately captivate me!

I’m starting to wonder if it’s too late to add “really nice CD player” to my wishlist for Santa…..
