"Perhaps this shift speaks to a deeper desire for connection and authenticity in an increasingly digital world."
I sure hope so! My husband and I when first dating in the early 80's would drive an hour to the big city and spend several hours perusing record stores. Then go home to listen and find if we were successful! I still have a hundred or so dvd's and have pulled several out this summer. Yes, nothing worse than wanting to watch an old favourite to find its been dropped on all streaming apps.
And we also own a few hundred cd's! Which came in handy when we bought an older Camaro with no Bluetooth! However, I have recently upgraded to paid account on Spotify and am enjoying searching new music and making playlists so there's that. But no album crackle. Although we do own a turntable and a few albums. My son cleaned us out of the good stuff when he moved out a few years ago.
Perusing record stores and books stores was the best! Used to do it most Saturday nights with friends.
My current vehicle doesn't have Bluetooth either or even an auxiliary jack, so I play music through my phone on a small Bluetooth speaker I set in my cupholder. :)

Time for you to restock your album collection!
I did the same with a Bluetooth speaker! Sadly we don't have room. We have over 400 cd's. We may buy a few.
