How many still listen to CD's daily.


Just a pole to see how many folks still listen to CD's on a regular basis, and if so how often?

Interesting question. Unfortunately, for me it has probably been years since I listened to CD's daily. Way back in the good ol' days probably.

Just don't seem to have the time these days for daily listening. And when I do have free time there are other items besided listening to music seeking my attention. (Oh, how I miss "the good ol' days. (If they ever really existed.). And when I do listen, sometimes it's vinyl and sometimes it's CD's. And sometimes it's an IPod. And, unlike possibly others that are in one "camp" or the other, I really have no preference for vinyl vs. CD, or vice versa. Neither really sounds better to me, just different.

Probably a few times a week listening to all of the aforementioned.
I listen to cd/sacd's several times a week. No vinyl since I sold my LP12 20 years ago, which I don't regret. Use an iPod when working out several hours a week. Starting to look into getting a music server setup going, but just starting to look now.
I was actively working on migrating from a CD-based music library to a computer-based one earlier this year. I have abandoned that effort, without any regrets. Why?

1) I have about 2000 CDs. Downloading them into a computer would take months, taking time away from actually listening to music. Shortly before abandoning the computerization process, I found myself wondering why I wasn't studying a score of music I was particularly interested in at the time instead of fiddling with computers, a soul-sucking task. I had no good answer.

2) The initial sound quality I was getting out of the computer was pretty poor, which indicated significant future tweaking was needed, with no guarantees that the final product would be significantly better than CDs.

3) Finally, the back-up procedures needed to maintain hard-drive storage for a computerized system are actually pretty onerous and make owning a CD collection a breeze.

The cost of the transition far exceeded the minor benefits. I'm waiting for a truly user-friendly process to be established before trying again. In the meantime, my CD collection sounds great.
CDs off music server daily. I have ~ 2000.

Haven't fired up my actual CD player in ages.
