For informational content, maybe, but on a larger level it seems that nothing has value anymore. Makes me curious about what disappeared in people's mind. I don't think spotify replaces a set of LPs even though in terms of sound waves you can have the same amount of bits.

Spotify absolutely replaces LPs or other physical media. Sure you own the physical media, but it doesn’t last forever, it takes up space and it’s somewhat inconvenient. Most people don’t really care about owning music and are happy to pay a few dollars a month for a service that has every song they might ever way to play and to never have to move a box of records again.
