Same here. I still keep my DVDs and BRays in a box in my attic and occasionally I still buy some as collectives (very rare comparing to the past as I don't even have the place to store them).. but all is digitalized these days. I have Netflix for the sake of animated movies my kid watches passionately, but for myself I rather rip and store on NAS.

Sam with music... a countless number of CDs in the attic but my living room has only vinyls exposed for a slow life orientated music listening sessions.

All the rest to become a fancy noise when I work or drive are 320kB MP3 and VOX to play them across my audio devices directly or via BT.
