    Physical media is inconvenient these days, but it does bring a bit of fun and feeling of ownership or connectedness with the music. I threw in some Grados with the EC Mini as a Christmas present for my daughter. She was skipping around the house with them yelling "I feel like I'm a DJ!". This doesn't happen with Spotify -> iPhone Bluetooth -> AirPods,

    OMG @purr1n I'm so sick of Norah Jones.

    Get this CD (80s CD version if possible, but 2000s remaster is alright)

    Don't worry, there's worse: Diana Krall. Decided to play Krall doing the jazz standards for my daughter in the car today. She's (my daughter) is like WTF. Tribe Called Quest is the CD in between and she picked up a Portishead CD (I'm like WTF, how do you know about this shit that I listened to back in the day), so that made up for Norah Jones. Heck, I like Dua Lipa.
