I went on a little bit of a road trip last weekend and tried something slightly new. Instead of relying on my phone or personal CD collection for music, I made a run to the local library and stocked up on music CDs there.

They actually had a pretty decent selection which made it easy to find enough music for the trip.

I think by doing this you get the best parts of both a personal CD collection and a streaming service. You get the audio quality, deliberate nature, and physicality of CDs. But it’s also really easy to give something new a try since you don’t have much to lose when you’re only borrowing the CD.

Libraries are cool.
