This is a great point. Houses and apartments should have built-in turntables, CD players, and DVD/Bluray machines (and why not, a VCR) as standards, like a fridge and a stove.

Not sure this will solve the out-in-public issue, but I'm sure many folks will venture out to their local record store and maybe video stores will begin to reappear too. It's a good segue to other physical spaces, like concert venues, restaurants, and museums. Also, maybe the cost of records would go down too.
