Are CD's a dead format for 2015 and beyond ?

nikkas still riding around with big azz cd booklets the size of a photo album in 2015?

Yes. Actually, I've got 20+ CDs in the cases in my car.
A lot of CDs you can get for $3-5.
I always pick up 10 or so whenever I go to the record store

I've bought CDs in 2015.I prefer physical media to strictly digital. CDs you have control over how it's converted, you can't lose it through a hard-drive error, cds are just nicer to have etc.
Hell even Vinyl which is way older than CDs is coming back due to having novelty and a niche in the market. A lot of big albums these days are available in Vinyl

Technically you don't own the music on the CD. You don't have any rights to the music. You're just purchasing a medium for play the same as streaming. The only difference is that technology has vastly changed the mediums by which people listen to music on a mass level for the consumer

You telling me I don't own the rights to the Infamous?

You have the right to play infamous but not to all the content on the disc
So they could have DLC already on the disc itself which you purchased and you don't have a right to access it until the developer provides you permission (through giving them more money for a permission key) to play it
it sucks

Don't you hate when you walking along,get stopped they put the cd in your hand..then they ask for donation..

"Nah bruh sorry "

Then they take the cd back .

It's so counter-productive...like you're better off handing out cards with your youtube/soundcloud name on them.

Expecting people to pay for a cd without hearing any content from it in 2015

I'm not paying 10 bones for a cd from someone I never heard in 2015. Got burned enough off that 10 years ago.

Woops my bad

 

[BlackSexyllence]

The last CD I bought was Dizzee Rascal, Boy in da Corner. way back in 2003.

 

[Soundbwoy]

had to get the Pusha T from amazon they didnt have it in store

 

[3rdWorld]

I simply don't trust digital media alone..I've lost rare dancehall and hip hop to hard drives and other bullshyt..

 

[Jone2three45]

Lossless will always be better than Lossy. Honestly, it all comes down to how well the album is mastered.

 

[Jx2]

I stream for convenience and collect on vinyl now. It's the best of both worlds for me

 

[Robbie3000]

CDs sound better than streaming from your phone in the whip.
