RE: Sounds: Musings, Freedom from The Material, and Music as Joyful Medicine
You got a spindle with burnt CD's? Isn't that technically MP3's? ;>)
When I moved my last things from The Netherlands to Portugal, early January, I think I got rid of all my cd's but I'm not 100% sure about this. I hadn't had a working CD-player in about a decade and merely listen(ed) to digital music or vinyl.
Since January I own a movie projector and I bought a DVD-player somewhat later, as I still couldn't throw out all movies I collected in the early 2000s. I even bought a secondhand VCR in Portugal, as I decided to keep a suitcase with movies on VHS.
I might like minimalism but memories, memories and I might wanna let go of NETFLIX haha. I am loving Spotify though, only started using it recently.

P.S. I feel you on your dad. Not sure if I told you that mine heard last year that he has a progressive form of long fibrosis. He's using a new kind of medicine that might prolong his life with 5-10 years ( he's almost 69 ) but it can also be over in a couple of years. As he's already a heart patient and on anti-depressiva, he's pretty fragile. Nevertheless, my parents plan to visit me and my twin sister in Portugal somewhere next month. I can't wait :>)
