I think physical formats are important. I mean, it's the equivalent of eBook only vs. physical book + eBook releases. I can understand why some people might see books as dead and unnecessary wastes of paper – but I will always prefer a real book, and that tangibility actually helps to ensure that it lasts for a very long time. Fact of the matter is – whether you personally can hear it or not – analog format is the true format of recorded music, and the sound quality vastly surpasses the digital copies, which can only try to replicate the original recording through lossy mp3 or bulky FLACC files.
