alt Hacker NewsI have been enjoying building a CD and vinyl collection recently. IMO there is no better listening experience than putting a disc on a reasonably high end sound system, and sitting down with the liner notes and reading about what you are hearing. No screens, just music. It’s really quite something these days.
My 2 year old son is also enjoying this process. There is something magical about him asking to “see” the music, and getting excited about the album art. Some of his music requests are based on the album art — usually ones that actually depict the musicians.

I’m in the same place and share the same experience with you.
Album art gets my 2.5 y.o. engaged with the music and uses what he remembers to ask for certain albums.
Also, he loves to look at the booklets and ask about it.
In the future, I want to get a DVD/Blue-Ray player to get the same experience for movies.
I have almost a spiritual experience when I go to vinyl record shop around the globe, it is a rare moment where I feel present and don't feel the time passing by. I also like to connect with people looking around for records and to know their background. Apps can't replace any of that.
