There's a tiny glimpse of magic of seeing the apparatus that turns physical storage into music. Even a CD drive gives you some mechanical hints of things happening. Best part is when you have an open drive mechanism :)
For me the ritual of deliberately choosing what I want to listen to from a somewhat limited/curated selection of music is the magic. Although seeing a diamond rubbing over a piece of plastic and knowing that's how the sound is made is pretty cool too...
