10 CDs For 10cents

Does anyone remember when you would get a postcard in the mail from a company like BMG or Columbia House, prompting you to pick out 10 CDs and you would only pay $1.00? I took advantage of that to the fullest, creating a library of music that even the best DJ would be jealous of.

But, I would have to sit and wait for that package to come in the mail! I would forget what I ordered, and the CDs would collect dust wherever they were stored. The stacks and stacks of CDs were an eyesore.

Those days are over. Now you can carry your whole music library in your hand, on your smartphone. Heck, you don't even have to download music to your smartphone anymore, you can use streaming services such as Apple Music, Spotify, and Pandora.

How do YOU carry YOUR music? Do you still purchase physical CDs or vinyl records (which coincidentally are coming back into style), or do you stream your music via the apps listed above? Which is your favorite?
