I still have a small record collection no turntable though. I've been thinking about picking one up though. I'm sort of the same way though, everything I need can be found on Amazon music. I basically pay a monthly fee and have access to just about anything I desire. If you would of told me back in the early 80s I'd have access to almost every album created for under $10 a month I'd have thought you were delusional.
I was a huge music downloader in the 90s with Napster and all that. Now I just find my music service to convenient. Every so often I'll search around the internet for some rare or out of print song and download if I need to. Space is an issue too.
I've actually thought about selling both my albums, tapes and cds several times, but just can't bring myself to do it.
I never gave the album sleeves much thought. I was always a big picture disk guy during the vinyl days. I did sell most of those long ago though. Collectors were paying nicely, and couldn't resist.
I remember Napster before Metallica got all pissed off and forced legal action. Was a great source of .mp3's for a while. Before that it was the IRC channels, talk about antiquated and the early days of the internet.
Picture disks.., I was not a fan of as the music then had a noise on the track. It was audible and distracted me a little. I did have some but at the time thought them to a be a little gimmicky, same with coloured vinyl.
