I love my boxed sets but must say I never listen to a complete boxed set: mostly individual discs. Boxed sets must be pieces of art to me that really distinct in artwork or liners. If it's just music only in chronological order I prefer the seperate sessions. I also like if if they compile music that's pretty hard to obtain. The Byard Lancaster set by Souffle Continu is an example of an essential boxed set I must say.
I havent ripped a cd since streaming is avaible. The places where I stream I don't play much jazz: in the gym and in the car. Jazz doesn't work in the gym for me and my car has awful sound for jazz music. I play jazz at home and i'd prefer to pick out a cd or an lp instead of playing digital files from my computer.
