Nothing hits better on a drive than a good mixed CD. Even making a playlist on your phone, which is basically the same thing, is totally not the same.

    The one thing I like about streaming music from a service like Spotify is that eventually I will find music I have forgotten about or never knew existed, and it happened organically. Unfortunately , that is a one thing CDs cannot offer.

    This is where the classic ipod was king. Shuffle All legitimately shuffled everything you had ever put on the ipod. Spotify algorithms fuck that right up -- shuffle Liked Songs is still automatically curated and serves up the same shit for months on end. That is not shuffle.

    It kinda can but not as easily.

    Back when I just downloaded everything under the sun on Napster/Limewire, I'd make highly curated CDs of known-hits as well as ones where I sprinkle in some random songs that were in my downloads that I'd never heard before. Not exactly the same, but I've definitely listened to a CD I made and been like "what's that song?! I love it!".

    Plus, for road trips, everyone would usually burn a CD or two of their own to swap in (a precursor to "pass the aux cord") so there was some novelty/variety.
