I stream but still but and listen to CDs.... what’s a music collection without actual... physical copies.... plus the sound quality is fuego!
Not everyone cares about collecting, some people just want to listen. I used to have a sick cd collection but damn near the entire thing was stolen. Thought I was going to rebuild it, but two years later Spotify was here and I said fukk it, what’s the point? I don’t like junk and clutter and I’ve moved a lot, no point in having to move big ass cd collections. I can see collecting vinyl, collecting cd’s is pointless tho...IMO.

Also, for all that I consume, very little of if do I love, but what I do love I buy (or download) to have a copy at my disposal should the Internet combust and I lose access to Spotify/SoundCloud/YouTube

I agree with you.... the thing with steaming that’s frustrating is that shyt can be taken down from different providers and limit you to what u hear. An example would be today. I wanted to play L. Hill’s “Can’t take my eyes off of you” but it wasn’t available. Since I have the cd, I can always go back to that abd not have to worry about the shytty youtube quality.

Question though, why do people put such a premium on vinyl and then complain about cd clutter? I do think there will be a CD revival in the future.

Also shyt comes down to just ur family btw. Music is big in my family and my fathers record collection was something I marveled. Hard to imagine giving my kids a playlist of songs that I don’t even control, as opposed to a collection of physical music. Idk, that’s just me though

All the time, I have about 600 cd's in my media storage rack. Been collecting them since '92. The sound quality and artist artwork alone is worth it to me. I also spent years working in the audio/video industry so when it come to sound, I want the best I can get.

There’s a warmth factor and imperfections to vinyl that’s not present in other formats, that’s why it has stuck around as a desired format for years. I also think some of it is due to that being the format that was used to DJ prior to digital mixing/dj’ing off laptops. CD’s, like cassettes, never had a function outside of a means to music consumption, nor any unique sound qualities. I don’t think CD’s will matter outside of things that are out of print and not available on streaming

My whole music collection has been digitized and transported to an iPod. I haven't listened to a cd since late 2011.

I'll buy a physical from Amazon since most releases come with a digital download. If the digital download isn't available with the physical, I just download the digital.

I had hundreds and hundreds of CDs. Trimmed it down over the years and when I lost my apt from the hurricane I just tossed them bc I didn’t even have anything to play them on anymore.

But what I really regret is tossing some mixtapes over the years. Not everything is on the internet. Especially those local DJ mixes from the 90s. There’s a lot I wish I could listen to again or upload for others looking for them.
