Sure there is some nostalgic value for some but buying music and video is so much more convenient today. Not only to get exactly what you pay for, instantly, but you get it for far less than you used to pay. And, it sounds and looks better than it ever did too. Win win, win win win, win win.

I think many Audiophiles might argue against that, hence the recent resurgence in vinyl. Digital is all about the convenience, but it's missing that tactile quality that music used to have. B sides maybe contained "lesser" songs, but often they grew on you and became favourites. Then there was the album art, and liner notes....
