Is anyone still using a CD Player

I have a bunch of CDs and the Krell 505 player.  I find myself defaulting to my Aurender Streamer and never listening to CDs.   I’m considering getting a CD Ripper and loading them via HSD or SSD card and loading into the Aurender.  Thoughts?  Am I in the dark ages even keeping the CD Player?

I play only CDs, nothing else.

I haven't played a CD since I started streaming.

@ghdprentice I definitely would not waste your time ripping. It is a time consuming process and in the end pretty useless. 

My CDs are typical 60s-90s popular top 100 type music, musicals, soundtracks. Do you believe Tidal and/or Qobuz has them, saving me the chore of ripping and the conundrum of giving away to not be wasteful? I don’t want to store it indefinitely - just moved, purging stuff to not store anything we won’t use.

I’m picking up .80 cent CDs at the thrift store on senior day, just in case.
