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.

@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 devil

@nonoise .....*smirk*  'Cuz we can be cranky 'philes at the drop of a tonearm?

...ask me if I'm not surprised........

@grislybutter ...instead of points, how 'bout a infused brownie and a cuppa' French Roast with an adult adulterant?  *conspiratorial wink*

...brownEpoints have bottomed out on the markets, anyway...
