Physical Trove

07/12/2025

Physical media has managed to claw its way back into the conversation in 2025, quietly defying every prediction that called it obsolete. Despite digital platforms’ promise of a future of infinite accessibility where streaming would replace actual ownership, physical media stores home to record shelves, CD racks, and cassette stacks continue to breathe, sustained by collectors who see music not as data, but as something to hold, own, and pass on.

Our music staff writer Elijah Pareño visited some of these last shrines to physical media, resisting to cave against digitization, to see how they’re holding up and what keeps their shops open.

Isa sa mga masasayang alaala ang umarkila ng vhs at dvd noon, ang sarap tumingin ng mga pelikula habang hinahawakan at binabasa ang mga ito. Tapos sabay sabay papanuorin sa bahay, naging bonding din sya ng buong pamilya/barkada. Minsan ambagan pa para umarkila!. Nakakamiss!

Stop giving money to the CEO of Spotify and actually give it to the artists themselves for all their hard work. Buy physical media from them. Support them. Cherish being able to hold it, the new smell when opened, actually sitting and reading the lyrics and liner notes, and having ownership of something that exists.
