Pleasant unexpected gift outta nowhere!✌😎

I hate digipacks or boxes of CDs because cardboard gets damaged and they dont fit with the rest of my collection on my CD furniture

But make new cd players (affordable without being junk plastic) . Not portable but compact and with good quality of materials (no black plastic please). Let Sony, Yamaha, Pioneer, Sanyo build them. No audiophile but also no plastic garbage.

a shit band

🔥🔥🔥

With this EP they’ve put out more new music than GnR has in twenty years.

I still buy CDs to this day. What I've stopped doing is buying Digi anything; if it doesn't come in a jewel case, it's like the release didn't even exist. Tired of the garbage Digi packaging.

The first one wasn't a take on 'The Character'. Hence it was called Joker and not The Joker. Viewed fully in context, Todd Phillips has just documented the creation of the ideology. Arthur Fleck was never The Joker. That's the point. It was obvious in the first film if you were paying attention. The musical scenes were clearly mostly in the mind of Fleck and gave you insight into his split personality and thought process. It might not be for everyone. It was a bold move. It was risky. But its a great idea and makes sense if you scratch below the surface. You're viewing it too literally.

I still love CDs. But i don't know why they seem to sound better than streaming!

i HATE digipacks >_> the plastic holder for the Discs always comes lose after a few years because the glue, that sticks the plastic to the cardboard, dries out, becomes hard and comes lose. The perfect disc case is really the Super Jewel Case like the ones Super Audio CDs came with. Incredibly sturdy, much thicker and sturdier hinges and overall much nicer for archival purposes and lots of handling. The rounded corners also made it a lot less prone to damages, A digipack is a lot less forgiving towards wear and tear..... Also what still keeps me from buying most modern CD releases is the still omnipresent LOUDNESS WAR insanity. And i certainly won't pay 40-50 or 60 bucks for a freaking Vinyl. As much as i like Vinyl, being able to actually OWN the actual sound imprinted into a grove, without DRM, i simply cannot justify the costs. And i know how good CDs can sound if mastered properly. So i am very picky with what CDs i buy and i often check the Dr. Loudness rating for certain releases to make sure i don't get a dynamic-range reduced "rEmAStEr".

Just covered this song. Love it! Check it out man!

Tragedy that we have lost the movie culture. As a fan of genre-films, I am scooping them up like crazy.

Fully agree. At minimum I think all CDs should be released in standard cd jewel case with booklet that includes lyrics. Step up would be a slip sleeve around it. Next steps up would be well designed custom packaging. Not the cheap then stuff as you ere showing. And NEVER just a front back and slit on side for CD where there is not even room to put name on cd the spine. Those are the worst.

It's sad to see an artist's art coming packaged in some pathetic cheep cardboard slip case. The end user will only end up disregard the music within as being lack luster or bargain-basement garbage on sight, especially when normally that type of sleeve is associated with a cheep give away on the front of some magazine or newspaper.... I hate ordering CDs and then waiting to see if they arrive in some cheap sleeve which hasn't had even the remotest afterthought for presentation, it always makes me feel like I was somehow robbed...

When CD'S come onto the scene, I ended up making the mistake of stopping collecting vinyl, I won't make that mistake again, so I continue to collect both formats...when it comes to steaming, call me paranoid, but someone else is holding your product, and I don't like that, I like to own something tangible, instead of ones and zeros on a computer... although if there is one great thing about streaming, it is the way it can help me find my next physical purchase....

I'm stockpiling CDs for the inevitable CD nostalgia

Its sacds, not cds

I prefer the private/underground ART EDITIONS with cd...

I still buy cds and will listen to the album in its entirety as it was made to be listened to......love it

How about a large data disc cd/dvd/ blue ray, etc. or online downloads of final mixing board of each track split into separates. 1 track of the normal recording 2nd track just all instruments 3rd track just vocals 4th bass 5th drums...etc... and continue on with everything added....single play, accent instruments as a triangle, cowbell, gong, and chimes could be combined on one track where there is "empty air" space between. I wonder how many vocalists have the courage to try it ?.. Just one song having 10-40 separate tracks would possibly fill the limited space on a regular cd . Mo cd's, mo tracks mo money, maybe ? It would be interesting for that rumored sound story you sometimes hear about where a faint background non-instrument was used or where the lyrics switched or someone fell off their chair.....possibilities ?

CD's were very expensive when they came out, I love Cd's & love Vinyl too, streaming, well I prefer to watch youtube videos for that & TV etc catch up only so much time ...on this earth I enjoy still burning CD's of my fav vinyl tracks...

only - use cd's in the car......6 stacker.... thanks - Sydney oz, find alot very cheap in the charity shops for 50cents now

I appreciate your enthusiasm and passion for collecting, I'm the same way, but for somebody with a channel about this stuff you really ought to know your terminology my man! The Collin James CD's are known as "Ecopacks" or "Eco Wallets". Yes, they are garbage; akin to paper straws! The Whitesnake CD is a "Double Digipack". Gabriel is a "Digipack". The Maiden is a "Mediabook". WIlliams ones are "Digibooks". I have 15,000+ CD's in my collection. I'll do a video someday about this. Hope that helps for now :)

I need the tangible item. I started collecting music in 1960 when I purchased my first LP through a magazine ad. Immediately hooked on collecting. '60s was LPs and singles. Then 8-tracks. Then 70s cassettes. The eighties came along with the introduction of the CDs. But early CD releases seemed to be all Classical music. Not my bag. Made the mistake of totally selling the collection. Have spent the last 12 months going from 15 CDs to 1500 CDs in an attempt to rebuild what once was. I loved vinyl because of the presentation (great album covers). But now, LPs unjustifiably are way too expensive. So, for me CDs work great. The downer is digipacks. They're cheap and no excitement. I agree 100% make a better presentation and I'll spend the extra $$ to have it.

Digi Packs are really hit and miss. They can rip and get damaged over time. I hunt for the limited-edition cd packaging releases from bands. If it's a hardback book design, I'm paying extra for it.

They go from an envelop with a disc dropped naked inside to a masterful and exciting package. Yeah, you’re very right. Buying the physical product should look exciting.

I absolutely disagree with you on cd presentation!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE cds that come in mini-lp form. Especially if it is an exact duplicate of the original album. I don't know WHY they didn't come out that way, right from the beginning. I've always hated plastic jewel cases. I buy mini-lps whenever possible.......EVEN IF I ALREADY OWN THE REMASTERED EDITION IN A PLASTIC CASE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even want to tell you how many times I have bought the entire catalogues of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Jethro Tull, YES and Led Zeppelin - to name a few, just because they were finally put out in paper sleeves. I know, I know - I'm nuts but it's my hobby - I'm a collector.

Part of the problem is that everyone has a different idea of how CDs should be packaged. I personally hate jewel cases and would much rather have a gatefold cardboard cover. In fact, I would hesitate to buy a new release CD if it were in a jewel case or something that uses too much plastic. It just seems tacky and outdated. I guess the ultimate presentation is closer to the Robbie Williams titles you've shown here. They've got the sturdiness of a jewel case but a nicer feel like a vinyl sleeve. And the glossy artwork looks great. Maybe everyone can get behind that. I like those 7" covers, too. Great idea.

Music popularity took a hit when people just paid to download. They didn’t want the record. People who love music to just listen to need something physical. Lyrics, pictures, other information. Part of the reason to buy it.

Thank you Steve for this awesome video about CD's! My ladyfriend, an ex DJ from Kansas, loves her albums, but no, I dont want any CD's. Seriously? I love vinyl, have around 660, but i have 1200 CD'S. I play CD's in my car, when I shower, when I clean or do dishes, etc.etc. I have multiple portable CD players and yes, they don't last forever, but if CD's are on their way out, why does Amazon, Ebay, and other stores still sell many different types of these portable cd players??? Thanks again Steve! Compact Discs aren't going anywhere, they're here to stay!!!

I like the 1980s and early 90s CD releases, simple and basic packaging.

I love the cardboard cases and having moved back from Vinyl to CD again I'm only interested in buying CDs that come in cardboard. Jewel cases are bulky, and old fashioned.

You bought Robbie Williams...and Whitesnake. LOL! But you're right. CDs rule.

The high cost of vinyl will be their demise, they shot themselves in the foot. Greed.😢

Buy, now while you can pick up CDs for next to nothing... Before the turn of the decade they will be just as sought after as vinyl and the prices will be crushing on grail items. Many titles have never had vinyl releases. Niche music had limited runs even on that format. Right now certain cassettes and discs are going for triple figures. Of course packing gimmicks will have their place. But there's stuff you simply can't get unless you buy it on compact disc. Streaming just doesn't cover music on the margins. I kick myself for what I didn't scoop up when prices bottomed out on records (though I never stopped buying wax). I'm not going to make the same mistake on CDs while their worthless. For the right titles, take it to the bank on VHS, DVD etc. too. 'To have and to hold...'.

Love buying physical formats and will gladly pay a bit more for deluxe cds you feel you’re actually buying into the project and supporting the artist . As we’ve seen an artist can remove their work from any streaming site at any time so owning it means your safe, I will stream first though then buy the album if I like it .

This is another song that makes your heart ❤️ beat!

I love CDs. I like vinyl too, but it's beyond idiotic to think that CDs are uncool or some such nonsense.

The myth of vinyl superiority needs to die, as well as the anti-digital smear campaign by hipster vinyl snobs that went along with it. The thing with the CD though is it's nothing more than a physical carrier for a digital audio file and the only real value is having your own copy that isn't stored on anyone else's server and subject to their own whims. Everyone even remotely serious about music should have possession and control of their own copies of the music they love, regardless of the storage medium whether it be a CD, a burned DVD with a hundred songs on it or an artist's entire catalog, an SD card, a SSD drive, whatever. The point should be that you have a copy that no one can take away from you or alter without your consent. The physical carrier of that digital file is not nearly so important as the fact that it is in your exclusive possession and not held hostage to some remote server host somewhere.

I totally agree with you on this. I can understand getting rid of jewel cases because of the situation with plastics, but a nice hard cardboard cover like the Robbie Williams ones would be great and would last a lot longer too. The record companies are trying to make CD covers like vinyl covers but the quality of the card is just crap.

yes man! Physical rules!

Never heard of these guys. Sounds right up my alley. I'll check them out!

Just found your channel. Fellow Canadian here. Where do you live? My wife and I have been Colin James fans since the 1980's. Seen him many times. He was just in an auto accident and has canceled his upcoming USA dates. He was not seriously injured. I think you meant "Juno's" not "Grammy's" when you referred to Colin's awards. And I agree with you 100% regarding today's cheap cd packaging.

No wonder some CDs are very expensive nowadays. It’s all about presentation.

I love the early days of CDs. They were minimal and straight to the point presentation. Also these last few years some artists are doing their best for presentation.

CDs should have never been issued with those infernal plastic jewel cases. They should have always been issued in cardboard sleeves, books, etc. No effing plastic that breaks easily, terrible for the environment, and is three times thicker than it should be.

Vinyl has surface noise. It's overpirced now. Try listening to vinyl in your car, traveling, or anywhere outside of the room where you have your turntable.

MAKE CD's GREAT AGAIN. 👍😎🇮🇪

Its cardboard cover so it will be much cheaper well im thinking it should be . 🤔 what ever happened to glass Cd s ?

I love Colin James.
