Yes I should not be dismissive. It does sound really fun. I guess what I really meant to say is: it's interesting how everyone has their own perceived fun-vs-convenience tradeoff for old technology. To me, even though curating/maintaining the collection of players and CDs sounds fun, dealing with scratched CDs and a skipping discman does not seem worth it. But I also like to buy hard copies of math/CS textbooks even though they are ridiculously expensive, heavy, and don't have ctrl+F.
