    Found this on youtube about the death of compact disc (even tho its been in decline fow awhile now)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vitQ-k1Q470

    I used to listen to CDs all the time in my teen age years (and cassette tapes too lol), but nowadays I dont sit down and just listen to music like i used to do. The main benefit for CDs today is burning on your PC and keeping the disc as a physical backup. Will you guys care when music stops being released on CDs?

    @Gries He Im interested to get your option on this. You're the only audiophile i know on this site. At least i think you're one, you would talk flac files or some kinda music files.

    @Nodley GreenYou've gotta have an option on this since you're an old geezer :P

      Editing … Eh, I haven't played a CD in years. All that hassle of finding the case and taking the disc out, no thanks! Mp3s are the shit

      Editing … I don't trust digital, i like having something physical even if a just burn the files onto PC at least i still have the physical version. Same with games once gaming goes fully digital im done. Good thing 90% of the music i like is from the 90's and back so if i want a CD of an artist i can buy it used at least.

      Editing … I'm slowly starting to like digital. The only problem I have is once it's offline it's gone forever. As a retrogamer this scares me.

      Editing … I'm currently in the process of selling all of my physical media (except boardgames); so far I sold like 20 CDs for €3 each, which is less than I paid for them, but I don't mind, since I ripped all of them to my girlfriend's laptop in lossless flac Quality.

    Waiting for amazon to fix their shit before I can buy more CDs and books sucks. Why do they want to deprive me of music and knowledge?

      Editing … The third party sellers are kind of the problem, I can't view different releases and editions anymore. Amazon only shows me the most recent editions of things. This greatly hampers my used buying.

      Editing … They do this every now and then but it has always gone back to normal. I think they do it as a test to see if I'm dumb enough to buy something new.

      Editing … Ha, I once bought a blu-ray on ebay listed as brand new that had an enormous gash in the back of it, cutting clean through the insert an into the case. When I contacted the seller and sent them a picture of the damage they replied with something like "That's the condition we received the item in. We will refund if you pay for return shipping." I was going to make a big stink and fire back about how ridiculous it was to put me through a hassle and monetary loss for their screw-up that they should have known would cause complaints. Fortunately before I got the opportunity, the gobshite must have had an attack of conscience, or perhaps his superior told him he was being a bellend, because my money was refunded shorty afterward.
