Ahhh yea very good points, I know the CD and DVD would not be scrambled but would not the electronics within the player be destroyed? Though they are rare in a end of the world scenario we could still play records on some of the very first crank style record players which do not have anything more then a needle to read with and essentially a megaphone to produce audio.
I would want to go back to it either as there are many complications, as you stated. Clunky, easily damaged, hard to seek a specific tune, large use of storage....
Overall I’m pretty happy with my Apple Music subscription, has nearly everything I wish to listen to and then a whole lot I have yet to discover.

The component parts of the electronics wouldn't necessarily be destroyed, but there is a lot of firmware and things that run on emulation chips that perform the functions of what was once discrete electronics that would essentially be erased. From that perspective, you would be right. Even good old vinyl can be played on a hand cranked gramophone with a big horn for a speaker. Vinyl wins. I concede. :)
Woot woot that’s my first blockchain debate win 😎 only because of a technicality 😉
Likelihood of an entire planet blackout is pretty slim from my understanding. Even with a massive hit from the sun it’s speculated that most electronics will survive on the side furthest from initial impact. An EMP caused from a nuclear blast in the upper atmosphere could knock out most of an area the size of USA but still an entire planetary blackout is extremely slim.
Great discussion, I had basically no idea what remastering was till now.
