no tapes but i still listen to records... and according to sales, cd's still beat out digital media unless you group in streams with actual digital sales... and even then it's only 51 to 49... so you wrong there tooBruh, mediums change. So you still listen to cassette tapes? Of course not. Do you still use CD's? You'd be in the minority.
Your hard drive/mp3 collection will be like listening to a SNES synthesizer to your grand kids. They won't even like the music you have saved. Future music will have more cowbell
AndI mentioned flac in my first post (my phone autocorrects that word. It just tried to do it) But, you might wanna look into this post below...
but to answer you no... i do not listen to cds and tapes.. but i do download my music and keep it on my phone. i'm not streaming every damn thing... paying for multiple services plus cruising mixtape sites everytime i want to hear a song... especially when i'm at home and can just pull up my entire itunes from my phone, then blast it through my bluetooth on the system
maybe one day streaming will take over FOR ME... but today ain't that day... and again... most streams use mp3 cause they don't have the bandwidth on phones or their systems to be streaming out huge files

i prefer .flac format over .wav format because it is little bit smaller and you can add metadata to the file. .flac is pretty much like a .wav file inside a .zip lol
mp3 when done right are dope as you can save some space. it sucks that mp3 formats are a thing of a past but i am glad people are focusing more on high quality. i love retro music in high quality uncompressed.

I downloaded a shyt load of Lo-Fi beat tapes in mp3 format. Damn maxing out my data cap just to get a superb sound I can easily create on Audacity
Eh...I tried .flac and it sounds godly on some tracks and meh on others. I remember bumping the Ridge Racer R4 soundtrack in that format and was like
Since I been on a huge Lo-Fi kick with my music, I actually like the WAV format since it enhances the rough bass sound that some of beats have.

i like .wav format as well even though it is somewhat ancient. i'm glad some people can tell the difference in music when it comes to sound quality. i really hate low bitrates and youtube rips or shytty web rips in this day of age. thank god for the pirates .Eh...I tried .flac and it sounds godly on some tracks and meh on others.

Man. I remember going through some of my old rips for my Vita. Holy crap
...all of them sounded like trash. Reminds me of the old Napster days with them MP2 and M4A tracks.

i hear you man. i am glad we have people on the internet who know how to rip music properly. this was a major problem and still is a relevant problem. a lot of these music streaming servers fool the people with their stolen low bitrate ripsMan.

1.) First paragraph is a lie, I've taken the liberty of bolding the part where you contradict yourself. That figure you put up is outdated by about 2yrs but was clear 5yrs ago... Lol at CD beating digital. I don't even know where to buy a CD today, I guess target? Does Wal-Mart still have the ban on explicit lyrics?
2.) You prefer to stream your collection, what's the difference then
The won't have everything you like, but they will have everything you don't know about. You'll discover new shyt. And they'll have most of your old shyt too. These days it's all free. As for quality, they even do that, it's not a tidal exclusive. Just go into options on any of the major streaming places like spotify/etc. Higher quality, uses more data.3.)phones don't have the data to stream big files
I pay $40 for unlimited internet. But streaming music doesn't even count against data if I didn't have unlimited. You really are living in the past 
You just learned about flac, so it's clear you gotta learn up about these future technologies bruh, cuz the future is already here 
People who have a deep music library ain't switching from MP3 
And I have a few albums in different formats like FLAC, AAC, MP4 and WAV and none of them particularly stand out to me as better sounding, they usually just take up more space.
