Kennymac, not arguing here. I respect all opinions. Some of my younger friends have albums and they listen to them but only a few. I also have friends who go the see movies… this is after dvds, blueray discs and renting media and now streaming. Why do they go to the movie theatre and why didn’t it die out??? Who knows. It certainly is not mainstream, but it’s still alive and kicking.
The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD
A few days ago, one of my favorite YouTube channels did a video on the CD. This channel (Asianometry) always does an incredible job telling the story of different technologies, technical industries and/or products.
I think most of you will find the 25 minute video to be very interesting.

I am 58 and never gave up on vinyl. |
CDs outsell Vinyl in Great Britain and Europe (per unit). There are titles you can only get on CD and vice versa with streaming. I can give a tinkers fart how many articles and videos come out touting the death of CDs and Vinyl as it's usually from someone who streams and has an axe to grind (looking for justification of monies spent, tribal associations, looking for those clicks and eyeballs or just a malcontent). This is getting old and kinda pathetic. Enjoy what you like and have and stop with the proselytizing. It's a stupid hobby and not a religion but if it is for you, get some much needed help. All the best, |
@2psyop I understand thoroughly. Don't mean to be so blunt, but my previous post says it all in a nutshell. That's the true reality of the digital world as we live in it today. I didn't make it that way. It just is. Also, music listening and high end audio is supposed to be a fun, passionate, source of pure pleasure, whether that pleasure comes via cassette deck, vinyl, CD, streaming, or, whatever. Happy listening. |
