Better to buy a CD once than keep renting (streaming) the music every month. Also, the CD is yours. Music can disappear from streaming services anytime, if the music license expires.

I still have every cd I ever bought since I got my first one at the beginning of the 90s, probably somewhere around 1800 cd's at this point. How wonderful it is to have a version of a concerto or symphony you love, performed by an orchestra/conductor/soloist that is perhaps not even around anymore and being able to compare them with other versions of the same piece of music. Those historical treasures aren't ever going to find their way onto a streaming platform, whithout my physical copy I would never have a chance to hear them again. Oh, just one more thing: there are no ads on them ;-)

One store was trying to sell Guns N’ Roses use your illusion 1 & 2 for $16 each! You can buy them brand new for around that price! That same store wanted $10 for a used Martika cassette & $13 for a Thompson Twins cassette! As these formats gain in popularity again, many locations are trying to rip people off!

CD albums are a very nice way to build a collection for those getting more seriously into music. You will tend to learn more about the artists via physical objects (booklets, sleeve notes) than a stream or radio and new CDs are often the same price as a used LP in good condition. CDs & other digital discs also typically offer more extras than LPs (alternate mixes, outtakes, video, surround sound). Of course you avoid the issue of surface noise and scratches as well.
@mrhoffame4 ай бұрын
Been collecting vinyl seriously for about 20 years now. I do also grab cds, cassettes, and stream when I want. When we start talking about "Revival" of any physical format be it vinyl, cassettes, or cd what we are really talking about is...."For the people who like music STUFF, what are they buying". The key to a cd revival is to make physical collectors want "cd stuff" again and I have said for some time now....if they started boxing new cds in the long boxes like they use to, I would probably be buying new cd to the same level I buy vinyl. I would be buying new cds to replace cds I already have. Give me STUFF to collect and you may get my money. It's that simple. These pathetic, flat digipak cds for $15.99 is just not worth it at all!! We will stick with used $2 cds instead.

In fact, many small youtube channels that were dedicated exclusively to vinyl jumped to CDs because they cannot afford vinyls anymore.

@@terrywho22 take into account that in my country, Spain, 55 euros is, relatively speaking, a lot more than 60 bucks because our salaries are much much lower than USA. Same for most southern UE countries, Italy, Portugal, Greece even France. We are screwed, vinyls became a luxury item. IMHO that's why CDs are getting so popular on youtube and We have the perception of a "revival"... It's almost imposible to buy 5 or 10 vinyls per week to show like many USA yt channels do... OTOH with only 30 or 40 euros you can buy a ton of used CDs and that's a lot of content to show.

There most definitely is a CD revival going on! It’s not only due to the cost of vinyl but it also has to do with sound quality being tops with CD’s! It also has to do with people realizing they don’t have control or ownership over streaming/digital downloads, (it’s slowly happening with DVD & Blu Rays as well)! People want to hear certain songs/albums & the streaming format doesn’t have most bands complete discography! Digital downloads only come with older music remastered or remixed versions! Many people want to hear the albums they way they did growing up & that’s only available on vinyl, CD or cassettes of old! We have several record stores within an hours drive from us that had to start selling CD’s because the demand is high!

Someone donate their whole collection to Goodwill and I was lucky to walk in as they were putting them on the shelf. There were many more good ones that I could have gotten, but had already in my collection. All 70's and 80's. Included most of Queens Studio Album catalog, Zeppelin, Skynyrd, Cars, Cheap Trick, Thin Lizzy, Foreigner, Journey, Alice Cooper and a bunch other great artists and bands. That puts my collection at 1231 CDs in just a year.

I live in Sydney, Australia and over here new cd's are expensive, especially via sites as Amazon or Discogs due to shipping costs to Australia. Retailers selling cd's are nearly extinct in Sydney or they specialise in genre. Thrift shops or op-shops as they are called around here (opportunity shops) sell cd's and some are very nice. Another nice aspect is that you can see the musical taste of the suburbs in the collection at these op-shops. Prices vary between $1 and $3 so still cheap.

Cd is fine. I both a record and cd buyer have been since I had pocket money now 50. If I love an album I buy both and mostly play the cd. The record on special occasions. I buy second hand cds all the time. I like the thrill of the fine as much as listening to it. I have some good cd players and turntables. I overheard a conversation between two young ladies. They went to buy the cheapest dvd player at a department store for about $30. Sure it will play them but a ln entry level Nad Rotel or Marantz player is good. I have bought some old high end dvd players which play cds well. Many aren't audiophile types and I get that so as long as they are enjoying their must all power to them I say. Any one buying records now new are paying the premium. Sometimes they are fabulous but some are very average with huge surface noise and crushed dynamics. I recently bought a record of Marshall Hain. Free Ride....wow a 70s pressing...tones of life and dynamics with minimal noise. Now the new trend is recycled vinyl to save the planet. Probably cheaper to make so green to market to the millennial market etc. I want a choice to but virgin vinyl or recycled. We live in very uncertain times. I stream first to work out if I buy a new release or not. Often badly compressed compared to older music on cd and even records.
