Or just give a large collective yawn. I, for one, am quite happy with my collection of CDs sitting in a drawer of a music cabinet at home, which is quite adequate for supplying my home music needs. I've rendered a small percentage of them to mp3 and put them on my phone for the odd time I'm out and about and I can sit there listening to music, but that's about as modern as it gets.
