Why I’m Buying More CDs Than Vinyl + Recent CD Pickups

[@the80slivehere]

Great points! I agree. You can do whatever you wish with your channel. I just subbed for the CD content. I love both vinyl and CDs and pick up cassettes once in blue moon. I have always bought more CDs than vinyl since about 1992. Very cool pickups! Rock Always! - Heather

[@deeoosee]

Used CDs run from .99 cents to $7 at my local record store and are in fantastic condition. If you want to have “physical media”, now is the time to pick up a bunch of CDs.

[@jakerealm4079]

I have a 700 + CD Collection. It also depends on how the mastering process is done, in any given format. Some CD's I have sound really good and some sound awful, due to mastering. I rip all my CD's into the cloud, in WAV Files uncompressed and FLAC. Audio. I then keep them on the shelf, to prevent wear and tear. As I wish to preserve them. I love Compact Discs. Great video here.

[@mrhoffame]

Cds, viny, cassettes...I think it's awesome to keep yourself open and in tune with all those formats. 1. It's fun lol. 2. It just really expands the amount of music that come across your plate. 3. Even if it's the same album, for me the experience of listening to the same album on cd, vinyl, or cassette actually makes the music come across differently. Each format truly has something special all its own.

[@thevinyljukebox]

100% agree. I usually will only buy an album in multiple formats if it’s one of my favorites (or if I can get a really great deal). Vinyl is my go-to though, but I love the unique sounds and experiences each format can bring.

[@tudormiller887]

Mini Discs ?

[@Chudhole]

I’ve switched back to CDs. The sound quality blows away all streaming. And frankly I find many CDs as good or better than vinyl.

[@kingelvis1956]

You are SO right about the new vinyl prices being out of control! I collect Elvis albums but there’s no way I can afford to buy most of what’s being put out by Follow That Dream (FTD), Music On Vinyl or RCA Legacy. Some of these, people are paying ridiculous prices for, like upwards to $300! Crazy!!

[@robertwood2490]

CDs RULE!

[@knockshinnoch1950]

100% common sense! You nailed it! I started my music collection in 1974 aged 13 and my physical music collection is currently at over 10,170 discs- vinyl, CD, SACD, SHMCD, HDCD and other audiophile formats. I look after my shit and everything is in pristine condition. no need for expensive snake oil products and gizmos to "clean" records. I leaned from my dad who's 90- take care of stuff, don't lend or borrow and never buy used vinyl if you value your audio equipment! I never offloaded my vinyl collection but stopped buying vinyl in 1988 when I completed my switch to CD but I did ditch cassettes asap when mini-disc arrived and fully embraced MP3 downloads in the early 2000s and streaming more recently. My intention was to stop buying physical discs and rely on streaming new music mainly to solve my problem of running out of storage space! It had the opposite effect- streaming opened up access to so much more music that I "must own" in physical format. My buying became supersized! I live in a multi format eco system. I have no time for the zealots who cling religiously to their binary format of choice- that is just BS! Every format has its place- try playing vinyl in your car ffs! Streaming is for discovering new music and for listening in the car and on the go. I listen mostly to CDs at home but decided to bring my vinyl out of storage in the attic after 30+ years now that I'm retired and to experience the rituals associated with listening to vinyl- all the faff and hassle every now and again listening to a classic from my collection. I must admit its very rare- too much hassle!!! The hype around the vinyl "revival" is 100% marketing and lifestyle. When I see kids spending a fortune of vinyl then play it on some cheap Crossley Turntable it sets my teeth on edge. A totally pointless exercise. It's always about the music- each disc has a special memory for me- the collection traces my life and evolving tastes over 6 decades. The audio equipment is also important- you want to hear your collection at its best. It really is worthwhile investing in a good system without going overboard and becoming a complete audiophile obsessed bore (I'm right on the cusp). I buy more discs today than at any other period in my life- divorced and retired- so much time to enjoy my collection and follow in nostalgia, I'm not one of those old boomer farts whose musical taste/development stopped at 1979 and is confined to a narrow musical genre. I have a wide eclectic taste- Good music is good music. Look after your disc collection- NEVER SELL ANY OF IT- everything always comes back in fashion and you will only regret it- you will also spend a small fortune trying to recreate that collection later in life! Your music collection will grow with you and provide you with a lifetime of music and memories. It's not a waste of money, it's a sound investment and an investment in sound! Good luck with your collection.

Great comment I am cataloguing and am 1300 vinyls and CD’s probably gonna be 2K when I finish…. What kind of turntable do you have?

I haven’t bought vinyl since 1982 wen I 1st heard cd’s & have never looked back !!!! Cd’s by far is the best sounding format period… no snap crackle & pop or skips !!!!!!! Still using my CD player from 1982….

[@josephblue4135]

I with you! I've bought only CDs since the 80s. I don't like the care one has to use to play vinyl & it still has surface noise & degradation over the years. The only thing I miss is the cover art being much larger. As a 70-year-old I have trouble reading the books & lyrics. I prefer the jewel case to the paper cases a lot of new releases use.

[@RussShawTV]

Ben, me too more CDs this summer for sure. I still collect vinyl but being short on money has got me filling up the CD shelf quick. our 05 Caravan has both CD and still got a cassette player, I collect those too. Sweet finds! Gonna have to pick up the new Baz CD I got new Ace Freely on cd for the same $$ reasons.

[@grayghost81]

I'm finding myself on a quest to make sure I have all of my all-time favorites physically, and skewing towards the format being in line with whenever the album was released. Sometimes I do buy crap I don't need but I'm trying to curate the right library for me. Having said that I have also found cds to be way more accessible than vinyl in general lately. Great video. Keep up the good work.

Great picks, and I agree on all fronts. Cheers to music collecting in general, CDs Vinyl Cassettes all of it! I like to collect movies too even. Physical media rules

[@greyhoundude6112]

I'm a fan of all formats, but these days you cannot pass up used CDs for $2 to $5 each. Many are new-ish, remastered and sound great. When you can pick up 8 to 12 CDs for the price of one new record, it's a no brainer.

They started out in the $15+ range but then the price dropped in the 2000's and have now gone up a bit but are still in the same range as when they came out. When cd's came out, I stuck with lp's because they were cheaper even if they were more of a hassle and had worse durability. Now, however, lp's cost more than cd's so it's a no-brainer for me. I'm done with new lp's although I still buy used ones.

[@paulthevol]

I have been buying a lot of CD's over the past 2.5 years (close to 2000). They were easy to find and cheap over the past 2 years, but things are changing. Good CD's such as rock and heavy metal are difficult to find and the prices are going up. Also, the thrift stores, estate sales, and yard sales are starting to dry up, with not much being put out for sale anymore. I think the word is out on CD's and the good deals will be getting hard to find. I grew up with vinyl and never really cared for how delicate and unforgiving they were. I love cassettes though, but its mostly for nostalgic reasons, and there really cheap at the moment.

[@markhorsburgh]

I buy newer albums that I want to listen to on CD. Because I still rock a CD player in my car,they get much more play. I tend to stick to classic albums on vinyl. Best of both worlds imo

[@tweakerman]

I also buy more CDs than LP's, purely because of the cost, I also prefer the usability of not having to turnover the disc & also having a remote control 👍

[@LeeSmathersPhotography]

I buy CDs to convert to Flac for when I work, drive, or do housework when I’m not around my stereo system. Prices of CDs allow me to branch out and try other music a lot of music I have LP/EP version and CD. Some newer music is forced on to three, four, five (Pearl Jam Gigaton), or six sides or the track order is messed up (like Tool Lateralus). CD or streaming were the standard when pressing the LP version. I love Puscifer albums, but I find myself listening to the CDs more because if I listen to the vinyl version sometimes I only listen to side A & B. So sometimes I skip vinyl releases if they are more than two disks with newer recordings. This is very different than older recordings. I’ll listen to the full album of the Pink Floyd’s the Wall, Genesis The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, and Yes Topographical Oceans because each side is recorded to their full length. All of this was considered when they were planning the album. I also don’t know how different the LP version of new music sounds to CDs if they were recorded digitally. That is not something I am able to comment on.

[@tyson1fan487]

Growing up it was cassette tapes and most of my friends were cassette tapes also but some loved records and then cds came out and I was getting some but this was early 90s so my cd player was connected to my stereo and cassette tapes were still my go to for music but by late 90s it was all cds!! Sadly I lost everything in a flood in '14😢😢😢 im trying to get my favorites on cd but these days online and ebay are my only options because im handicap and it's hard to get out but for the most part I find good prices and occasional good deals. I haven't got anything new in years and I mean new releases!! I see a lot of great artists from years ago still putting great music out there! Sebastián Bach!! Stephen Piercy!! Mike Tramp Stryper and others but I'm very limited with money so I basically get the older stuff and I love 80's and early 90s Rock/ metal and I just grabbed that Trixter cd and some Def Leppard and Cinderella!!

[@sgtBilko75]

Flipping vinyl is indeed an often overlooked disadvantage. A concert fits on one cd, but takes a double LP. Meaning you need to turn it after a few songs, 15 minutes later, change it for the second LP, and turn that one again after a few songs.

[@hollandrocksls]

So, like the theory being sold is vinyl is so superior to the lowly cd that the consumer will pay anything to get their hands on it. So, naturally, once the masses are convinced of this, the prices will skyrocket. Thanks for the vid.

[@chaddunn9621]

I been buying cds on ebay lot great prices too. Amazon usually go to marketplace

[@oldloaf]

I buy more used vinyl and new CDs. And the main reason is the cost. New albums cost somewhere between $28-$45 (give or take) while new CD's can be as inexpensive as $10. That's a big deal for my budget.

I bought a dozen CDs for $22. Keep hunting ! I agree with you, bc album sales are up.

I also decided to step back on vinyl recently, for the same reasons as you. In fact, I stopped buying records completely. CDs are a great compromise between convenience, great sound quality (as good as, or maybe even better than vinyl, if they’re well mastered) and price. The folks manufacturing and selling vinyl should really pay attention to their prices, if they keep rising, they’re going to end up killing the format.

I rip every one of them to a HDD in FLAC lossless and stream them using Plex and Plexamp...great for casting to my system using my streamer, when out using the phone and in the car! I also play them using a vintage 90's high end Sony ES CD player digital out to a nice DAC and high end system. If cared for CD's can last a century and sound amazing until then. I feel like they will be valuable again one day as the old collections are trashed or recycled but I don't buy to collect. I only buy ones I actually listen to.

[@DorianPaige00]

Used cds will inch up especially double disc deluxe edition or imports like stuff issued on Cherry Red. Cds of then current material issued in the late 80's -mid 00's will always be cheap because many were made. Reissues usually only go up in price especially if there are bonuses. Bad company's original albums for instance were reissued in double disc form and those are $20 plus and moving upwards. I mostly collect soul and jazz and have seen double to triple price increases when stuff goes out of print especially obscure stuff. Box sets outside of the early to mid 90's will go up as well. I'm cd only and typically pay $10-15 for most titles. My main focus now is promo cd singles with rare mixes.

[@ciaranmeeks9431]

I remember back in the early 00's the normal justification for abandoning cds was a cross between the ease and 'freeness' of sites like Napster, and the supposed expensiveness of buying cds new. I never understood the mentality. Cds could be bought new from between $10 to $25 tops. How is that too expensive? Plus, the format was and is more compact, less prone to damage (unless you're a careless tool) and easy to store, the packaging was great, and you could play them portably or in the car. Conversely, the same people will now pay upwards of $50 for vinyl which takes up more space, is easier to damage, and cannot be played outside of the home. And no, vinyl doesn't sound any different. If it does the difference is so infinitesimal as to be non-existent. It's all just hipster snobbery. There's no logic whatsoever to the attempted murder of what was arguably the best physical music format ever created. I still happily buy cds. I probably have over 5000. They sound great, and having an organized home library looks great too. And unlike this streaming nonsense I never have to worry that a band or album will suddenly just disappear due to licensing issues or cancellation by some woke idiocy. What I own is mine and I can listen to it forever. As long as I can find cds I'll continue to buy them.

I've been collecting both vinyl and CDs for nearly 40 years (I'm old). I have a massive CD collection which I've transferred to a music server, which I've converted to lossless FLAC files. I stream my music from my PC to my main stereo system via a Logitech 'Squeezebox Touch' (which unfortunately has been discontinued for more than 10 years). The DAC built into the 'Squeezebox Touch' is decent enough on it's own, but I hooked up a Schiit 'Modius' ($200) DAC to it, and it made a significant improvement over the built in DAC of the 'Squeezebox Touch'. I also run my music files off of an nvme m.2 ssd gen 4, and that also made a noticeable difference in sound quality over a mechanical HDD I was using in the past. I have all my physical CD copies at my disposal if I want to listen to those, but having all my CDs on a server on my PC is just so much more convenient, and with the addition of the Schiit 'Modius' DAC into my system, it makes for a much more enjoyable CD listening experience. Great video. Keep up the great work.

CDs can get scratched if they’re not handled correctly, but nine times out of 10 they will still play perfectly. On a record you can hear every scratch and pop. If you buy used records often times they are dusty and dirty and could use cleaning.

"Vinyl community "...that cracks me up. Tons of cash to get a turn table to sound half as good as a CD. Excellent CD players in used music stores stacked to the ceiling and shame on you if you pay more than 80 bucks for a CD player that was 300 new. Five dollars for any used CD or 20 bucks for an abused copy of Who's Next? ...I have tons of vinyl I bought when it was a simple pleasure...they sound lousy compared to CDs. Been into music since 81. CDs win...hands down.

[@thevinyljukebox]

Have to disagree with you there. I have CDs that sound terrible and I have vinyl that sounds terrible. On the other hand, I have vinyl that sounds great and CDs that sound great. I don’t think one format is better than the other. Each has its own distinct sound which works for some, and not others. At the end of the day, it’s all about the music. Whatever format makes you happy is the best format.

I'm sick of vinyl selling the whole vinyl collection. CDs rock. Also my cassettes play just like bought yesterday

be aware disc rot

[@thevinyljukebox]

Is this actually a thing? I’ve heard mixed opinions. If you store your CDs properly, I don’t believe disc rot is an issue.

Redbook CDs are horrible compared to good analogue! 44.1k/16 bit was never good enough for hifi! Id rather pay more for LPs, you get what you pay for! CDs are cheap because they are worthless and obsolete, especially when digital is much better these days! SACD or hi res streaming is a much better choice!

[@Albee213]

44.1/16 reproduces a sign wave perfectly between 20k and 20khz. Not close, not sort of. Perfectly. If a good source is used it will reproduce it far better than any LP can and its provable with science. Tape does not store sound like some wavy line. It's pulses that have gaps much like digital and when played and the right speed? it reproduces the complete sign wave. Like LP, Great. But it's not "better" than CD. And not get me started with frequency response.

Completely useless. If you're not an audiophile what is the point?..., just stream. What a total waste of time and money.

[@thevinyljukebox]

Appreciation for the physical format, artwork, and enhanced sound quality that comes with physical media is a waste of time? Either your definition of an audiophile is different than mine or you’re on the wrong channel. The point is that there is more to collecting than just sticking to one format. Huge difference between collectors and audiophiles even though someone could be both. Thank you for watching.
