Rolling Stone reports a resurgence in the popularity of physical media, such as vinyl records, CDs, and DVDs. Collectors, both seasoned veterans and newcomers, are increasingly drawn to the tangible experience of owning their favorite music, movies, and other forms of art. This trend is attributed, in part, to frustrations with the instability and limitations of streaming services, including content removal and fluctuating availability. The appeal of physical media lies in its permanence and the unique connection it provides to the art itself.
