I remember listening to the music on my tv.
I remember listening to 45 rpm's an my parents' 76's on the "record player"
My mother gave us kids a healthy dose of her generation music. I still love the big band sounds of the late thirties and forties. Her records were 78's... just a couple of rpms faster than your parents music 🤣 We had a wind up player too. I don't think it was an Edison... maybe a Victrola, but we had a lot of Edison records.
I'm so old that the good record player didn't have a 45rpm setting and it was a nice piece of furniture. It was a record player and a tube radio with a speaker at the bottom and record storage on each side of it. I'd love to have it now.

For me, 67 was very nearly 7 years ago.
I'm so old that I always show respect to my seniors.. though they are not numerous. I'm honored to quote your post, Sir.

I knew I was getting old when all of the young ladies looked like little girls.

Heck, see doctors who look about 12!
There is an advantage to physical media, whether it's music or movies. I have some things on DVD (even videotape) that will never be streamed. Ever. It's too obscure, rare, unheard of. I streamed the album of a band from the 1990s of which I'm fond: I don't know who bought the rights to the catalog, but one of the songs on the album was changed to a different version. The ONLY way I can listen to the original version is either on my CD or my personal media library of ripped music. There's another CD from an artist in the 1980s and an entire track was removed from the online album! Streaming is convenient, yes... but it comes with the compromise of being at the mercy of the streaming service.

My entire bedroom is filled with a lot of comics, different japanese comics, dvds and albums, my parent's bought vynl and still had their eight tracks, as well as a music Box in the basement that was my grandmothers.
I agree. I have around six hundred LPs and many only played once to rip that I have stored. I don't even have a means to play them but they are stored for the future. I tried my best to capture what I could of my library in mp3 format for the lack of degradation of numerous plays and years of storage. I was an early adopter of the mp3 format when it took around 30 minutes to capture, compress, and name a mp3 file. It was quite the hobby back in the late 80s/early 90s. The trading files game was up when sites like napster emerged and players could be bought to play the files.
