The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD

Records and CDs and streaming, it's all great.  I did throw out my 8-tracks and cassettes many years ago.  But I see my local record store is selling them along with 45 singles.  Shows that some will see it as nostalgic, regardless of SQ.

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing

There are +’s and -’s for Everything in life. BUT.....Music is Life and I second the notion that I’ll never Trust anyone else other than Myself ...to supply my ears with the beautiful notes that take me to "another World"....that my friends is why I OWN the music I Love!!

Used to purchase cd's on weekly, nearly daily basis, then I found streaming. Continued to purchase cd's much less frequently, and then began to notice the online sellers I frequented inventory getting smaller and smaller, now they're gone.

I understand the continuing interest in vinyl, I have vinyl setup which I continue to use. Don't understand continued interest in cd's, art work not close to vinyl, sound quality nothing unique, I've found streaming superior, vinyl retains it's unique sound qualities. CD drives disposable, I've lost too many to ever go back. Streaming vs. cd, streaming wins on so many counts.

Having around 1500 CD’s, I still have a CDT on both of my systems although I do use the streamer to listen to new music.
