    I don’t see the disagreement here.

    Digital includes digital optical or video discs (DVDs). DVDs and downloads are preferable to the situation posted by OP which is what I posted in this thread. The choice is convenience or not being taken advantage of and owning your media.

    And an aside, have you never had a portable CD player or minidisc player or mp3 player, nevermind a tape player? Are you familiar with Walkman? Sony still makes that.

      Nope, I am too young for a player like this) And even if I wasn’t, it would be impractical compared to a normal player. Imagine carrying several disks with you. Not to mention the podcasts…

        Right, so what is the relevance of this in the context of owning your own media versus being milked for money by corporations and having what you paid for removed at their whim? You’d have to be familiar with common usage of media players up to today to give a knowledgeable comparison on what was and is normal or impractical in that area, let alone the meaning of digital, which you don’t appear to be. My point that owning is better than allowing corporate exploitation for convenience sake still stands.

          The relevance is that between subscriptions/DRM and physical media I’d rather choose DRM-less digital media.
