The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD

@nonoise I fail so see what you’re getting so riled up about. Because you’re the only one here that’s claiming that anyone’s touting the death of CDs and vinyl. Also, no one has any old axe to grind. Fact is, regardless of what you, or anyone else, are willing to except, and regardless of what the audiophile articles and videos say, the popularity of CD and vinyl are still only mere shadows of their former selves, compared to the heyday years of CD and vinyl (not even a mere shadow). Now, that’s the reality of the new non physical digital media world that we live in today. Whether you like it or not. The good news is, anyone can always opt to enjoy whatever source of musical media that pleasures them, whether is be CD, vinyl, reel to reel, compact cassette tape, or streaming. Happy listening.

@kennymacc maybe I can’t read but nowhere I saw @nonoise to be riled up..He was factual and empathetic as always

(I don’t get brownies for this but I should)

If anyone is riled up about one extreme, it seems to be you :)

Own no physical media at your own risk. My ability to listen to music will never be solely dependent on someone else. Some group in power could decide my choice of music is "misinformation" and relegate it as criminal.

I can always count on @grislybutter not to read between the lines something that isn't there, spinning it to suit his point of view. Why, oh why can't some people accept the notion that there will be contrary points of view on matters? 

I don't begrudge anyone the medium they prefer to listen to so I guess I'll just repeat what I warned earlier about not being so zealous about it. It seems some just can't help themselves.

All the best,
Nonoise

for the record, CDs and vinyl records suck. You all should get rid of them. (Just please post them somewhere so that I can buy them cheap. Same with your turntables and CD players )
