How many folk now use streaming and have sold all their other audio equipment?

[paulf-2007]

If technology had developed to the point at which we needed no physical equipment, and in a room of guests could just 'think' of a track and will it to replay perfectly to the guests, how would you feel about that?

I suppose, given the current zeitgeist, there would be a risk that everyone would want to do so and a competitive noise would result.

even if everyone took their turn and chaos was avoided, that concept sounds like hell and I hope I'm dead before that happens, then it wouldn't happen at my place anyhow. Someone commented that ripping to hard drives and accessing seems empty. I agree with that and not all but some that have turned to streaming seem to indicate that something is missing but are in denial. Whatever your preference let's all enjoy the music. If I could buy all the music I like on vinyl I wouldn't use Spotify for anything other than finding new music. When I've visited fellow music lovers and the music has been accessed via a phone or tablet even into a top notch set up I've not really been all that impressed. Maybe as Jerry said, vinyl is coloured,if so bring it on I love it.
