It’s tougher to find quality CD selections Is a CD revival happening?

[@jeffxpmdisc]

I think thrift stores allow certain collectors to go thru their new arrivals before they put them on the shelf. It is also pretty easy to check the value of stuff on the internet now, so the good cds never make it to the shelves.

[@lionheartroar3104]

The vinyl collectors are insane. I never moved away from cds and have feasted on people's poor decisions to abandon their cds.Keep e'm comin!

[@kathk94]

I think so but not as big as the vinyl revival. I just hope a CD revival means more appreciation for the format.

Personally, I prefer buying music on CD. I had a subscription to Apple Music, but I canceled my subscription kind of in frustration because of a song on a certain album that I really liked suddenly turned unplayable. That is a major reason why I personally hate dealing with music streaming services. I like to listen to a wide variety of music (everything from Classical, Country & Contemporary Christian/Gospel to Hard Rock/Metal). Just an example of some of the artists I like are Pearl Jam's album titled "Ten" and my favorite song on that album is titled "Alive", then there is Alice In Chains "Dirt" album (the one you are holding in your hand at 10:04 in this video), and one more example is a band called "Nightwish" and on their album titled "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" I like listening to their 24-minute long track titled "The Greatest Show On Earth". And I will mention one more band I really like to listen to...a band called "Disturbed" I like a lot of their songs across all of their releases. To name one of the songs I really like, it's titled "Down With The Sickness". So this is just a few examples of the music I enjoy listening to.

Happy new year Rudy! We missed you, glad you uploaded! Ben is a real cutie 😍😍😍😍

[@rudyonduty]

Happy new year Eleni! Good to see your post! 😊

[@peaches911]

Ben is soooo adorable!! Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year!

[@rudyonduty]

Thanks! You too! 😊🙏

People aren't donating cds and vinyl anymore. The thrift shops In my city have the same old cds from more than 5 years ago. I know many people have either sold to record stores or dumped their collections in the trash more than 10 years ago. I've also worked in thrift shops in the past and anything good is taken by employees or listed online for much more . This is why most don't have the shelves full of records or cds.

[@rudyonduty]

You’re spot on! It’s a tough market now for finding good quality CDs.

[@TomsHitParade]

Yeah, gotta love those Dropdead Kennedys. ;) Hey, I've had my share of in-video brain farts lately, so I shouldn't say anything. I'm still finding quite a bit of interesting (to me) stuff at the local thrift stores, so I haven't seen it start drying up yet, thankfully. Like you, I try to buy just what I'm interested in, and not grab stuff just to flip it (except on rare occasions). And thank you for introducing us to Ben, he's adorable! I love animals, so any KZbin music channel with a furry friend is okay in my book. :) Oh, by the way, if it's easy to tweak your "like & subscribe" graphic, you might want to do so - it says "subsribe" (you left out the C)! Don't worry, it took me awhile to notice. :) Another great video, Rudy, and thanks! I hope you're safe from the fires and your family is all doing well.

[@rudyonduty]

@@TomsHitParade 😂😂😂 I was gonna edit it out but thought it might give people a laugh! I never noticed the error on the subscribe graphic. Thanks for pointing it out!! Thanks for the feedback Tom & All the best to you in 2024!

[@peteryoung4957]

Hi Rudy. WOW 50 cents. I volunteer in a charity shop in the UK and we hardly get any CD's donated nowadays. I always look though them, if we do get any but it's not the type of music I'm interested in. Also in the UK it's mid winter so no car boot sales until the spring. I have the Tina Turner CD. The only CD I've brought recently is A Momentary Lapse of Reason (2019 remix) by Pink Floyd.

[@wrxfrontier6584]

Happy new year! ✌🏼🎉

[@rudyonduty]

Happy New Year to you too! God Bless! 😊🙏

[@dansavik7137]

I think there are CD's out for sale, you just have to pay 10-15 dollars which is fair.

[@duanenash9474]

"Drop Dead Kennedys" LOL!! You actually managed to confuse 3 bands; Drop Dead; Dead Kennedys; DropKick Murphys.

[@rudyonduty]

@@duanenash9474 That’s what I said to myself! The brain ain’t working like it used to! 😂😂😂

[@Foul_Quince]

Pink toured Australia last year the same time Taylor Swift was blowing through. She drew more people to her shows than Swift did. Got 1/20th of the press coverage.

[@lionheartroar3104]

Pink is the real deal.

[@RandarosMusicworld]

Oh waw that was good stack of cd'es. Have to check out Gunshine sounds something for me. White Lion with the danish singer Mike Tramp in it. Really a good voice he have. have you checked some of his solorecords in english? He also have done some on danish. I'm a sucker for female singers or female fronted bands. And special Pink such a strong voice and personality. Have 2 with Dropkick Murphys but haven't heard em yet. The black Crowes is a good pick up. Adele have a beautiful voice. Dirt with Alice In Chains is a masterpice. Remeber when The Pussycat Dolls went big. Good looking women.

[@TheRollingStoness]

CD revival is on...SACD ...folks are back to SACD ...gone are those " music jumps out of the speaker Mono sounds awesome" era!!!

[@sjbang5764]

Pink is in a movie I recently watched called Catacombs, it was terrible. She was billed under her real name Alecia Moore. I've come across yard sales and charity shops where they paid me 75 cents a cd to take them off their hands.

[@christopherbarker1048]

I mean, if you're just going to Goodwill and flee markets and yeah it's slim pickings. For me however, I hit the record store to find the good stuff. I'm mostly into rock and metal. And the last 2 CD hauls I scored some really good finds.

[@jeffxpmdisc]

Yeah, you'll find good stuff at record stores but they generally know what stuff is worth, so you won't get them for a steal.

[@christopherbarker1048]

@@jeffxpmdisc I disagree. Zia Records is one I go to for music. The last haul consisted of 9 CDs for $40.

[@thomasball3658]

I've been listening to lots of Muddy Waters and Howlin Wold.

[@kerrydavidsadler980]

Some great cds , in my neck of the woods cds are getting more expensive. Wish the hipsters would stick to their vinyl and leave the cds alone lol.

[@rudyonduty]

Thank You! Hipsters like most are running out money! 😂

[@brianreynolds6303]

Been listening to Billy Joel. CD's are getting hard to find.

[@josephblue4135]

Cool, I'd pay 10$ for a new copy of Earth, Wind and Fire! I just came across you today. I see your 2 turntables behind you but what kind of CD player do you have?

[@rudyonduty]

@@josephblue4135 I have 2 systems… I run a Numark CDJ with the system you see and also a Onkyo 5 changer in my upstairs system

[@davehuskey6424]

The guy you bought them from probably stole them. Dropkick Murphys is the best of the whole bunch.

[@CBT5777]

Gunshine sucks. Check out Pallbearer, Heartless album. You're welcome.

[@mumu-d2i]

come back, sure 😁👍 vinyl hype makes me wacko, see Metallica stuff 🤑
