I don't own it and I don't want it.
As much as the inexorable march of so-called technological progress is indeed terrible, I can't say I could ever go back to vinyl, cassettes, CDs or even the early days of digital music purchasing. If the trade-off of not actually owning any music is that I can access more music than I could ever possibly afford to own, I don't have much of a problem with it. Plus, if you want to listen to, for example, Mahler's complete symphonies, you spend more time getting up and flipping/changing the vinyl/cassette/CD than actually listening to the music!
My submission: Book signed by the author?
