Sony is good gear @Shermie and looking at the specs of that system it should do everything you need and last a good long while too. It's nice to have something on in the background when you're doing stuff, I used to listen to musicals when I had an office of my own years ago (I miss it as we're open-plan now so can't have music on).
I converted all our home audio to digital this year and got a couple of SONOS speakers, but the wife isn't happy as she is a complete technophobe and wanted to stick with her little stereo and CD player (so I've got her a little digital radio for the kitchen for Christmas to try and make amends
All quite true of course and the digital modern recording is almost infinitely re-playable without degradation - just pointing out that a groove is a constant recording whereas a digital recording [be it CD or on a computer] is 'sampled'.Vinyl records used to be a big hit from around the '20s through the '90s.& possibly into the 21stcentury.
But sadly, times have changed. Vinyl records & LPs are still great, but to have a big collection of them is space robbing, much less allowing clutter to build up!
Disc jockys stream music from the Internet, as do juke boxes in bars & clubs.
That technology is brought into the homes via Youtube.com and other sources, such as Tidal as a way to enjoy music without stopping to change a vinyl LP.
CDs are still around, but only because of what their name implies; They are smaller than LPs and take up far less space than their predecessors did.
Another good use for technology is you won't wind up with the stem that holds several records poking you in the backside when one decides a speaker makes a good seat.Vinyl records used to be a big hit from around the '20s through the '90s.& possibly into the 21stcentury.

They do sell stuff to convert VHS to digital.Almost the same thing with VHS tapes.
Co's have stopped producing VCRs & movies / programs on VHS tapes to go with the smaller DVDs. But the blank VHS tapes themselves are still in production. Which all seems cool, But I STILL have an analog TV that has a built-in VCR.
Call me old school or a VCR relic, but I'm not giving it up as long as it works, and it still does!
I'm on a shoestring budget, and times are a little hard for me right now. But hopefully, things will be better soon.
