cd's are digital audio, therefore "digital" music is not the opposite of physical media. streaming or downloaded music is. it's IN THE NAME. compact disc digital audio; digital since 1982, in the most literal sense of the word. it is as digital as anything on the internet.
it almost gets even...
when you create a playlist on spotify, spotify analyzes the contents and recommends "similar" stuff to add to the playlist based on Big Data AI Machine Learning Algorithms and other skynet buzzword shit
