That's pretty much how I regard streaming audio via Qubuz and Spotify: a sort of "radio 2.0" meets "going down to the library and renting a few records for a week". Which was my first experience of music, to me that *was* how one listened to music. I keep an eye on what people here are listening to and play it (Gil Evans right now), on the basis there is way too much good music out there to deliberately hem yourself in by the limitations of a collection, or allegiance to a medium or style, or even a knowledge of a genre so I dive in... Swim about a bit, it's all generally worth listening to, it all has something going for it.
I think that mindset takes adjustment and maybe many people of our generation will never adjust but its clear that to a future generation, only a tiny tiny proportion will feel comfy with a fragile medium prone to wear and setup issues and storage space and the era of connected media and playlists will influence our listening habits in ways not possible with a personally curated collection. That side of it will happen when music files and NASes and other storage eventually disappears completely and our collections follow us around, if not by online services then via our own cloud services we build ourselves.
For music not in the cloud I currently use Volumio, a UI that does not show sleeve art or attempt to simulate the LP or cd sleeve experience either and it's actually fantastic because of it. its chunky, simple and minimal. I thought I would need a complete simulation of the CD at the very least but I got on well with it because attempting to recreate the artefact was the wrong UI metaphor for that particular carrier format.
I love the tactility of the record as an artefact but it's not the music, so I can peel away the two: record collecting is an experience in and of itself that sits aside from listening to the music, it never worked for me with CDs because clever as the technology was, the user-interface was a necessary but poorly implemented simulacrum of the vinyl record. The sleeve is too small, the booklet is not a good size to hold and get out and interact with, the disk is poorly stored with no modularity, the cases were fragile; worst of all it had a "stacked shelf" mentality like books and Lps. Frankly, as a music listener I am glad its over, it's freed me to just listen, but as a record collector and enthusiast I am still devastated.
