Trevor released his latest solo album, Rio, in 5.1 surround last year, and was talking it up at the time - I wouldn't consider him a surround naysayer.

Still too high for what's included, especially the unwanted and unneeded vinyl, but damn, the Atmos mix is worth taking the hit. The full size packaging is also nice.
The packaging is very nice. I bought the DVD-A years ago, played it a lot when I was set up for 5.1. Got the new SW package (overpaid for it, apparently) and think the Atmos mix is stellar.
I now have so many versions of this record, form the original LP and then 8-track in the '70s, the first CD release in the '80s, various deluxe editions and the DVD-A '90s and '00s, and now the Atmos SW version. Does this sickness ever end, is there a cure for this disease? How many versions of this recording do I need, or want? How many times can I listen to this collection of great songs in various flavors?
As I've mentioned in another post, I now have more music than I could possibly listen to if I sent all my waking hours listening to music for the rest of my natural life. I've justified my obsession by telling myself I don't golf, I don't fish... and those are expensive hobbies. But seeing as I'm in the back nine of my life, when it it all enough?
And my kids have little to no interest on my collection save a few classics - what am I going to do with it all?
Perhaps Quadraphonic Quad or Steve Hoffman group could set up a gift repository for box sets and audio collections for those of us who don't have heirs to leave them to - I could put that in my will.
If my wife outlives me, I told her to contact one of the used record stores in town to see what she could get for the pile.
I want a viking funeral with mine ...
When my first wife divorced me 17 years ago, she told me that half of my then-3700 CD collection was hers, because half of everything was hers.
I handed her the Micheal Buble CDS, and her copy of Zamfir, King of the Pan Flute, and told her I was digitizing the collection and could give her 100% of the discs on a 2TB hard drive. Her new guy was an IT professional, and could patch it in to there stereo system, so she agreed.
Now I'm at > 5600 CDs, and my new wife uses my Apple Music account for listening. She helped me find beautiful mission-style sliding glass door cabinets to house the collection in, so they could be displayed properly. Yeah - she's a keeper! ;-)
Only if you let it.
All of them
As many as you like.
Rip lossless copies to your drive.
Sell the collection and take the wife on a wonderful vacation someplace you've never been.
Life is too short.
I just watched "Beau Geste."
