Do you listen to CDs?

I recently acquired an antique blu-ray player and have been trying to figure out if I want to actually buy CDs to play in it. I forgot what it was like to have physical discs and putting a record on and just letting it play from the beginning, maybe only skipping the one song or two that you really hate.
Now I just have my playlists and I take the songs I want from each album and never listen to whole albums anymore unless I really feel compelled to.
I feel like that's probably fine for 90% of modern music but there are artists who still compose albums to be listened to from Track 1 to the end like reading a book. Anna Calvi's Hunter/Hunted albums are the only recent ones that I've done that with.

I store music files on flash drives or portable devices.
Or use YouTube.
I have a lot of CDs, but it's rare if I play any of them.
As for my own music, I do make my albums into a theme that each song fits into.
But based on the views, I see no one listens to the songs in the order I put them in, nor do they even listen to the whole album.
The average person will only play one to a handful of songs and they don't come back later to listen to any more.
Some might sample a few seconds of each song but most people these days aren't into listening to albums.
I still do, though most of my time is being put into making albums of my own, and I'm always onto another album or re-recording or remixing stuff.
Until I get that out of my system, I might have time again for other music.
Are you okay?
