'Perfect copies' and 'zero data loss' aren't completely true. The 128kbps mp3 files people downloaded from Napster wasn't nowhere near equal to the quality of a CD. But people didn't care because the convenience and availability triumphed over the pure audio quality, you didn't need to know someone to copy his or her music.
In a blackout, the only way to listen to music might be through a battery powered portable CD player or mini boom box. The way the world is going now, that kind of scenario can’t be discounted. I do believe extended blackouts somewhere will usher in huge demands for physical media, so its a good idea to snap up CD players while they’re affordable.
I don't care what anybody says. I collect CDs for their convenience, but mainly because they're so much cheaper than vinyl. If i really love aan album I'll consider buying it on LP. But them being twice the price of a cd isn't with it for me to buy everything in vinyl
CDs used to cost over twice as much as LPs, now it's the other way round. Just shows how demand dictates the amount the industry charges. I like an LP, but much prefer a CD. Much neater and easier to use, plus you can rip to your iPod/phone. There's plenty of tracks on CDs that haven't been pressed to vinyl yet (and vice versa). For the most part, those (but not everyone) that currently buy vinyl are doing so because it's the fashion. They are welcome to spend their money how they wish, but I'm happy with a music collection that predominately consists of compact discs.
I love it. I bought over a thousand cds in less than a year bought other peoples collections for about 50 cents a cd. Kept the ones I wanted gave the rest away. And still I had to buy some out of print (burn)cds. I only buy originals, I like to support the music industry as when you buy a record. all the different compressions and formats steal from the sound quality of the recording. like taking a picture with a polaroid and taking a 10 mega pixels picture of the same subject. I have an old pioneer sx1250 with CV AT15's and AT12's and the cds sound great. I got some LP's of the cds I have as well and compare the sounds they both sound good.
CDs pre--Loudness War - so before 1994 - are going to be the Rosetta Stone for rock and pop music.... they took advantage of the full dynamic range of CD and the lack of pink noise, pops/crackle and dynamic restrictions of vinyl. But after 1994, the compressing of all pop music destroyed their fidelity. Take Queen - the original 1986 CDs sound fantastic. Every 'remastered' version since has reduced the dynamic range, until the 2011 "remasters", also availbile to stream in "high res" are a music compressed horror show. All sounds are SHOUTING AT YOU ALL THE TIME. And there is the real rub....because streaming services are serving up the dynamical compressed 'brickwalled' digital files of everything from ABBA to Simon & Garfunkel (just take a look at Paul Simon's Graceland CD wave form from 1986 to the latest digital version....it's not pretty). You might have 24 bit at 96khz...but its 24/96 of earnumbing brickwalled Loudness War....and it's not going to go back....because humans have a hearing achilles heal - louder equals better....in the short term.... Unlike 1080p and 4k visual resolution, soncially technology has hollowed out the dynamic beauty and inventiveness in pop music....which has largely been reduduced to a brickwalled pulse/beat with a nursery rhyme hook (the only think that can compete) repeated over the top of it.....forever..... It's such a shame....unless they have the digital file from CD before 1990, no one will have heard Graceland as it was actually recorded....
I understand moving with the time but streaming music is not all that compared to having a physical copy in your hand then place it in the CD player and jam out. And just like anything else,if you take care of your CD collection they'll last a long time. I have nearly 3000 CD's and most of them play fine, bootleg and pre-recorded CD's,all my cassette tapes play fine all 400,most of my records also play fine 120. 💯💯
My brother died last month, RIP. He had 3000 CDs and i had to move them from his apartment, He have been buying them since the end of the 80s till 2023. Total weight of them is about 260 kilograms, so it took a little bit of effort to move them.
The big question is: Why are they still pressing vinyl?? Why are they still making lightbulbs when we have the LED?? The abacus and the old Texas Instruments calculator is a collector’s item…and, come to think of it, so is vinyl……🤔😳
I'll just stick to online pirating of music. CDs were great but they are an obsolete technology now. USB drive stores a lot more and doesn't need that much care to handle. A 1 TB external hard disk is worth literally hundreds of CDs, even if a bit expensive that's a great deal.

This is the well know "audiophile" bragging BS... uncompressed 44.1khz 16bit digital music is SUPERIOR to the analog quality of a 33rpm record. Period.
@@BICIeCOMPUTERconGabriele This is a typical "I have no clue and read something on wikipedia" post. It's not about the bit rate. Records sound better for the simple reason that they ALWAYS have higher dynamic rates and the "warmer" sound. CD's would be good if the Loudness War never happened and if "Remasters" wouldn't compress all music to death and suck out all Dynamic Range (the best example is Iron Maiden: Amazing on records, the original CD's sound thin, all the "Remasters" are brickwalled to death and basically unlistenable, unless all you got is ear buds and your hearing is shot already anyway from using them). Even then HDCD and SACD are far superior and SACD can rival records in how they sound. Experiencing music isn't a data contest, it's not about bit rates, it's about how it sounds and feels and in that regard, a good vinyl on a proper record player (let me guess, you never experienced anything better but Crossley crap, lol) and good speakers will always sound superior to a regular CD.
@@ShadowAngel-lt8nw you contradict yourself. You say that records will always have higher dynamic range... Then you explain because MANY CDs have poor dynamic range. That's because of wrong choices made me people doing the mastering (loudness war)... So it's not the medium itself. It's not ALWAYS. You also 100% don't mention that the medium itself CD had plenty more of dynamic range than record.... So if proper mastering in the record studio is done, a CD will destroy any vinyl record. Listen to properly pressed music (generally classical music, or Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Genesis albums of you are not into classical...) then do the comparison again...
@@BICIeCOMPUTERconGabriele Actually wrong, records have a bigger dynamic range than CD, that's a given considering the difference between analog and digital, though with records the play time and the thickness of the record itself play a big role there, hence why 180 gram records sound like crap compared to 320 ones and why records with a maximum of 40 minutes sound better than those with an hour cramped into it. As for Dire Straits: The original CD pressings weren't good, except Brothers in Arms. The 1985 German pressing was and pretty much is the gold standard for CDs but the record still sounds better (and that crappy Why Worry is cut into half, making it only half as annoying) the other original CD releases from Dire Straits are infamously bad though, the 1996 Bob Ludwig Remasters are pretty good, but if you can't tell that the Records are better, i don't know what to tell you. All subsequent remasters are brickwalled to shit. I got them all. Original issues of the records, the first pressing of BiA and the 96 Ludwigs. So i can compare them. As for Pink Floyd: You open a massive can of worms there as there are so many different pressings, remasters, reissues and even difference in just the country of origin (like the Japanese "Black Triangle" being deemed the best pressing, while the european releases of the 90's (called remasters, but actually aren't) are infamously horrendous, as are most modern remasters) But Pink Floyd is actually a prime example for Records, so no idea why you mention that. Listen to the intro of One of these Days or On the Run on record over a GOOD set of speakers or good headphones (AKG or Beyerdynami, not earbuds, not beats or any other cheap crap) and the difference to the CD, specifically the stuff that is hard to put into a technical format, like the "airiness", the "warmth" and just the general dynamic display is vastly superior. Pink Floyd simply will never sound as good on CD. The fact that there are how many remasters by now? That proves it. It shows that nobody is happy with them and everybody thinks he can do a better job. As for classic music: That's the one genre that lives from high dynamic range. Again, the record format will always be unbeaten there. CD will never come close, again also mostly because there are like 5 million versions of every Mozart piece and 99% of them sound like crap.
Imho CDs don't have a valid market. Its just digital audio on a physical media, the same audio as a streaming service. They always replicate the exact same sound. Vinyl atleast has imperfections and distortions that some people prefer over digital, but if you dont care about that then streaming is far more convenient that optical media. If you're worrying about the need for internet, having downloaded MP3s also beat CDs. CDs are pretty useless except for super niche cases.
I've decided that I'm buying a CD player this week. I have a huge CD collection. I relied on copying them onto iTunes (and then playing them on an iPod) for most of the 2010s. It's been years since I've actually had a CD player though. For the past three to four years I've been using Spotify with a Bluetooth speaker. I also got into vinyl and bought a record player, but I'm just not feeling it anymore. I can't get over the ridiculous cost of records these days and the amount of space they take. And do I really want to spend up to $2,000 or more replacing the CDs I already have with records? Other than the larger artwork, I don't see the benefits to vinyl. CDs were the best.
I be selling CDs 😅until this day and I will never quit hustling CDs 💿 have better sound quality and the artist gets more money 💴 of their CDs 💿 cause u support them
I had a few setbacks, but I finally got my CD player today. I'm christening it with Arctic Monkeys' Humbug right now. This is taking me back to 2009/2010.
CDs haven't gone away, many people still buy them, not as many sure because most people stream music now but there are still people like me that own a HIFI and actually sit down to listen to an ALBUM! and for this a CD is pretty hard to beat. I'll never get rid of my CD collection either, its not just the music that i can stream but the memories and importance of the albums, same reason i still own a lot of DVDs and BDs, its a real collection not a disposable thing on my phone that might disappear at the whim of a record company or streamer, also no internet needed which i think is actually something worth having.
Period I’m cd collector myself and still sell CDs 💿 myself and owner of a lot of old school music CDs 💿 let’s keep supporting physical media guys Let this new generation of losers keep streaming There never 👎 going to own anything in life and we cd collectors will always own our music
I grew up with CDs, buying them since I was 10, putting money aside to buy my monthly treat. I’m 40 and have 3000+ CDs, there is something magic when buying a CD, apart from the quality which is unbeatable, reading the booklet while listening to the CD is a habit that I will never get rid of.
I have a great collection of CDs that’s how I best like to listen to my music when I want to relax, when I’m working I don’t mind playing the digital from my iPod through my computer, but when I’m relaxing kicking back I’d like to have the whole experience of a CD!
Availability in the recording industry has always been it's Achilles heal. If you bought when the album was a current or still in print, you're set to enjoy a lifetime of music. Streaming isn't that way. Streaming eliminates the expenses a label has to endure by warehousing and distributing physical product but it's always subject to licensing contract that come up for renewal. With artists now having the ability to control the rights of their masters after 35 years, the chain of ownership and subsequent legalities will mount and those contracts will often especially in the future get delayed or disputed. You'll also get that cantankerous artist that doesn't want to put their stuff out there.
Read books format was never dead unlike vinyl for so many years with no turntable and LP being produced or sold. CDs just having a slow down in sales, not dead to call it revival.
Vinyl didn't outsell vinyl last year. It made more money in the USA due to the exorbitant price placed on the product. But its the same inaccurate line that's trotted out. In Japan CD is still king, and also in Europe particular Germany. CDs aren't going away anytime soon, and yes their stock will rise, as there are so many different versions of albums, mastering etc. than currently on streaming services, not to mention their physical appeal to collectors. Vinyl in the 80's and 90's was for the most part pressed on thin recycled housed in cheap single sleeved sleeves, so rose tinted glasses off! CDs, will become niche collectors territory as vinyl is today with the masses. The knowing ones have been buying used cds for sometime now as they did with vinyl in the 90's.
@@KioAMVs not to mention the wonderful Disk Union. I had the good fortune to have 6 business trips to Japan over recent years, I spent most of my spare time and cash buying up as many Japanese CD's as possible, mostly used in great condition and rare!
CDs forever 📀📀💿💿📀 they will always be around Not a lot of people like to rent and stream music Physical media will always be better and ownership will always be better
Yes CDs 💿 will be around forever we can’t let people let streaming take over cause it’s rental an. Crap 💩 CDs 💿 are still number 1 in Japan 🇯🇵 and they don’t like streaming
You don't hold it, you don't own it. CD was the peak of audio recording. And you got a little booklet to read while listening. Way better than iTunes or Spotify.
I can't remember the exact date, but I think it was in 1988 that CDs outsold vinyl for the first time and that dynamic was only reversed in 2022 or 2023. This was mostly due to Taylor Swift's catalog being re-released in addition to a few other big pop acts putting out new music. Everyone jumps on the newest trend, which is now vinyl, and sales go up. I suspect it won't be any different in 2024 with Swift having a new record out, so I'm waiting to see the stats for 24 and 25 in terms of CD vs Vinyl sales before I write the epitaph for the CD format. There are tons of videos on this subject, and it's always been a head-scratcher to me since most of them were done in either a year the CD (still!) outsold vinyl, or in the first year that the reverse was true. I may be biased as a CD fan and buyer for life, but the idea that the CD is going away as a mainstay of physical media is just not supported by sales data. If vinyl outsells CDs for a decade running, then perhaps I will change my mind, but until then all this discussion of CDs "making a comeback" is kinda irrelevant. The better question would be "Is vinyl going to stick around this time?". At around $40 for a single record, and the price of everything else going up....my answer would be no. But I guess time will tell.
CD players are not on the shelves. Even car cd players are hard to find. Streaming the norm. Is the market being played by the manufactures or by the buying public?
It has my views 💯 percentage CDs 💿 forever and ever Let the losers keep streaming music and never own anything Keep renting ur music You streaming losers 😂😂😅😅😅😅
unlike subscribe based, cds and other phsyical format have another value, the value of owning and collecting, i predict the rise of cd soon just like vinyl.
People are getting sick of streaming services and digital only because theyre realizing you dont truly own anything. Vinyl may be pretty and collectable but it is getting way too expensive now, also you need to spend at least $100 to get a player that wont damage your vinyl, and spend even more to make it sound good. Cd's are very cheap to buy and basically everyone already has a player for it, dvd, blu ray, playstation, its already easy to get into it and you dont need to spend tons on a player that wont damage them like vinyl.
Watch out. So many new design and reengineered hi-end cd players are coming out, with astonishing and amazing sound playback. CDs have never been dead nor stopped production but simply in a short hiatus compared to vinyl which actually went into 6 feet under the ground, literally dead for many years. CDs still have its magic and it is inevitible that sooner than later there will be another long season of vinyl dump, all because of shortlive hype from new generation enthusiasts.
I've been a Vinyl hardo for the past 6 years or so as I listen to vinyl about 90% of the time and 10% CD listening while at home . I recently picked up a nice pair of vintage A/D/S L810 speakers about 1 month ago that are in showroom condition running through my vintage 1985 Yamaha R9 . Long story short I played a few records through the A/D/S speakers and then listened to a few CD's so let's just say the roles have flipped as CD's simply sound better especially through a nice set of speakers . With Vinyl prices going through the roof new and used I really haven't been buying Vinyl . Vinyl is also getting hard to find at thrift stores while CD's are plentiful for $1.99 each as I live a 2 minute walk from a very large and busy " Savers " thrift store so I can at times walk out with 10+ cds that would cost the same as 1 new Vinyl record as this alone is great !! Do I still enjoy Vinyl ? Yes I do as I own about 700 records but the CD sounds better hands down and it's also nice to be able to just hit the back button on a remote to repeat a song . People are getting caught up into the aesthetics of Vinyl records as to also buy them as collectors items and because they're not cheap people have to claim that Vinyl sounds better using every excuse in the book to justify the cost but the CD wins hands down as far as sound . Trust me as being born in 1976 I remember listening to a CD for the first time -vs- Vinyl around 1989 as theirs an obvious reason as to why the CD took over to begin with .
I got my first CD from a radio contest in front of the Town Square Mall in Owensboro, KY in 1993. If you can name 2 members of Aerosmith or the lead singer I don't remember which, you get a CD. I answered the question and got the Aerosmith album Get a Grip as the prize! It was from 96 WSTO. This was my first CD and I didn't even have a CD player at the time. I also went to the dollar store and bought Busy Bee- Running Thangs I believe it was called. I think I bought a CD player a month or two later.
I can get an entire album in a thirft store for 1.99 to 5.99. That's way cheaper than buying albums on iTunes and I can back up a soft copy offline. Also, I own the things intead of having to keep paying a recording/streaming company.
@@robertquant1122 i see.. nv own a cd from Japan before... but i heard over the internet they have more special songs that is included in the album than elsewhere
It’s actually true I love Japan CDs 💿 because even though there more expensive they always come with bonus songs that are not available on the US version
I have been buying them again, I would just rather prefer to rip my own lossless files and put them on my phone if I want to stream them in my car. I also enjoy using them in my car or house.
Vinyl did not out sell CD last year. Data shows that many more units of the cd were sold over vinyl. It's just that the price of vinyl albums is substantially higher and the finance and data boffins trying to spin (no pun intended) a story are using value data for their stories over number of units sold. Yep..! Even in the music industry the lies and manipulation are forthcoming to we the people!
I just wish sometimes that they could provide a new format with the great sound of a cd, something that doesn't scratch/skip, and you dont need internet to use the damn thing. Until then I'll continue to buy cds. 😊
Everything that's recorded digitally should be on cds. digital to analog doesn't quite work the same. vinyl wears like a tire on a car, the more you use it, the more you wear out the thread.
As I remember it Napster became a thing in part because the recording industry was pushing out albums with maybe one or two good tracks. Most the rest IMHO was garbage, filler. I remember the news media citing this as an issue many times over. Piracy is wrong, that said I really did not feel all that sorry for the RIAA at the time. I think they helped create that monster.
They should just make a hand or stand tablet specified for these mp3 carriers with the full booklet downloaded so i dont have to collect cd's all over my room.
As a mobile dj for many years I used all cds in my dj collection, no matter how many times cd gets played, they always sound excellent & exactly the same. My first 7 yrs. as a dj I used all vinyl, not the same case unfortunately, vinyl will degrade over time especially if played very often. It's just great the feeling of reliability cds give & the top notch quality of sound in my opinion.
I before playing a cd on a xbox one then a cd discmen or a bombox cuz the disc Doesn't stop the track because when you played on a boombox when I had. I had 2 of Sony's boomboxes. The disk drive seemed to stop the music on the middle of the freaking song. Playing a city on a boombox is not worth it at all. In my opinion
I don't miss my CDs. It was annoying how easily they scratched and how you had to hold your portable CD player carefully to prevent damages to the CDs. I much prefer digital, vinyl, and even cassette tapes to CDs.
I DESPISE the subscription service based music industry of the internet. I don't want my songs locked in an account from a single platform that I have to remember the password to. I don't want to pay repeatedly. I make sure to buy CDs of my favorite albums because I refuse to not have a physical copy.

Experiencing music isn't a data contest, it's not about bit rates, it's about how it sounds and feels and in that regard, a good vinyl on a proper record player (let me guess, you never experienced anything better but Crossley crap, lol) and good speakers will always sound superior to a regular CD.
@@ShadowAngel-lt8nw you contradict yourself. You say that records will always have higher dynamic range... Then you explain because MANY CDs have poor dynamic range. That's because of wrong choices made me people doing the mastering (loudness war)... So it's not the medium itself. It's not ALWAYS.
You also 100% don't mention that the medium itself CD had plenty more of dynamic range than record.... So if proper mastering in the record studio is done, a CD will destroy any vinyl record. Listen to properly pressed music (generally classical music, or Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Genesis albums of you are not into classical...) then do the comparison again...
@@BICIeCOMPUTERconGabriele Actually wrong, records have a bigger dynamic range than CD, that's a given considering the difference between analog and digital, though with records the play time and the thickness of the record itself play a big role there, hence why 180 gram records sound like crap compared to 320 ones and why records with a maximum of 40 minutes sound better than those with an hour cramped into it.
As for Dire Straits: The original CD pressings weren't good, except Brothers in Arms. The 1985 German pressing was and pretty much is the gold standard for CDs but the record still sounds better (and that crappy Why Worry is cut into half, making it only half as annoying) the other original CD releases from Dire Straits are infamously bad though, the 1996 Bob Ludwig Remasters are pretty good, but if you can't tell that the Records are better, i don't know what to tell you. All subsequent remasters are brickwalled to shit.
I got them all. Original issues of the records, the first pressing of BiA and the 96 Ludwigs. So i can compare them.
As for Pink Floyd: You open a massive can of worms there as there are so many different pressings, remasters, reissues and even difference in just the country of origin (like the Japanese "Black Triangle" being deemed the best pressing, while the european releases of the 90's (called remasters, but actually aren't) are infamously horrendous, as are most modern remasters)
But Pink Floyd is actually a prime example for Records, so no idea why you mention that. Listen to the intro of One of these Days or On the Run on record over a GOOD set of speakers or good headphones (AKG or Beyerdynami, not earbuds, not beats or any other cheap crap) and the difference to the CD, specifically the stuff that is hard to put into a technical format, like the "airiness", the "warmth" and just the general dynamic display is vastly superior.
Pink Floyd simply will never sound as good on CD. The fact that there are how many remasters by now? That proves it. It shows that nobody is happy with them and everybody thinks he can do a better job.
As for classic music: That's the one genre that lives from high dynamic range. Again, the record format will always be unbeaten there. CD will never come close, again also mostly because there are like 5 million versions of every Mozart piece and 99% of them sound like crap.
I'm not going back to cds. Just to collect dust and taking up space.
Can A person just play music cds on a dvd player only
Huhhh actually that would be records 😅😅😅
Imho CDs don't have a valid market. Its just digital audio on a physical media, the same audio as a streaming service. They always replicate the exact same sound. Vinyl atleast has imperfections and distortions that some people prefer over digital, but if you dont care about that then streaming is far more convenient that optical media. If you're worrying about the need for internet, having downloaded MP3s also beat CDs. CDs are pretty useless except for super niche cases.
I am not pretty, I'm an ugly middle aged man. If I'd put 2 things in my earlobes....I'd be an ugly middle aged man with 2 things in my earlobes.
I still buy cds. Not interested in streaming. I enjoy having my own music and gear to listen.
Cds 💿 forever let’s keep supporting physical media
im goin to do cds i will never return to youtobe music anymore
I have 1,000 CDs 💿 and I still sell some CDs are worth more and ur supporting the artists
I've decided that I'm buying a CD player this week. I have a huge CD collection. I relied on copying them onto iTunes (and then playing them on an iPod) for most of the 2010s. It's been years since I've actually had a CD player though. For the past three to four years I've been using Spotify with a Bluetooth speaker. I also got into vinyl and bought a record player, but I'm just not feeling it anymore. I can't get over the ridiculous cost of records these days and the amount of space they take. And do I really want to spend up to $2,000 or more replacing the CDs I already have with records? Other than the larger artwork, I don't see the benefits to vinyl. CDs were the best.
I be selling CDs 😅until this day and I will never quit hustling CDs 💿 have better sound quality and the artist gets more money 💴 of their CDs 💿 cause u support them
By far.
I had a few setbacks, but I finally got my CD player today. I'm christening it with Arctic Monkeys' Humbug right now. This is taking me back to 2009/2010.
CDs are the best for listening to a full album. Which people might get back into some day when the whole Spotify playlist trend wears off
Last year I invested in a Marantz. I love my discs!
CDs haven't gone away, many people still buy them, not as many sure because most people stream music now but there are still people like me that own a HIFI and actually sit down to listen to an ALBUM! and for this a CD is pretty hard to beat. I'll never get rid of my CD collection either, its not just the music that i can stream but the memories and importance of the albums, same reason i still own a lot of DVDs and BDs, its a real collection not a disposable thing on my phone that might disappear at the whim of a record company or streamer, also no internet needed which i think is actually something worth having.
Period I’m cd collector myself and still sell CDs 💿 myself and owner of a lot of old school music CDs 💿 let’s keep supporting physical media guys Let this new generation of losers keep streaming There never 👎 going to own anything in life and we cd collectors will always own our music
Same, I have a ton of music and movie CDs and DVDs and will keep them. I don't do digital music or movie subscriptions.
I grew up with CDs, buying them since I was 10, putting money aside to buy my monthly treat. I’m 40 and have 3000+ CDs, there is something magic when buying a CD, apart from the quality which is unbeatable, reading the booklet while listening to the CD is a habit that I will never get rid of.
I'm 58 years old and I still collect CDs.
Streaming does nothing for those of us interested in collecting. It's always CDs (and vinyl records and open reel tapes etc etc...)
Cds forever 💿💿💿 I will always support it until I die Streaming and USBS are garbage
Physical media forever 👍👍 streaming will never beat CDs 💿 sound quality
5:23 - 5:28 = BS. Compact discs are Not experiencing their last hurrah ...
Did anyone else notice that wasn't a CD in the last shot of the video, but a laserdisc?
I have a great collection of CDs that’s how I best like to listen to my music when I want to relax, when I’m working I don’t mind playing the digital from my iPod through my computer, but when I’m relaxing kicking back I’d like to have the whole experience of a CD!
Exactly, that CD/Vinyl experience
Availability in the recording industry has always been it's Achilles heal. If you bought when the album was a current or still in print, you're set to enjoy a lifetime of music. Streaming isn't that way. Streaming eliminates the expenses a label has to endure by warehousing and distributing physical product but it's always subject to licensing contract that come up for renewal. With artists now having the ability to control the rights of their masters after 35 years, the chain of ownership and subsequent legalities will mount and those contracts will often especially in the future get delayed or disputed. You'll also get that cantankerous artist that doesn't want to put their stuff out there.
I can't stand streaming I take a cd any day.
i think it should come back, because now no way to buy any program or movie without cds, and like internet is shit
Read books format was never dead unlike vinyl for so many years with no turntable and LP being produced or sold. CDs just having a slow down in sales, not dead to call it revival.
If you don't like CD's, that's okay!
You can give them to me. I love them!
I want to escape from my phone
I'm buying cds now coz they are cheap. If they were like in the 90s I wouldnt buy them at all as we have the songs online anyway..
records are bigger but have less design work. a CD booklet feels like it includes more than a gatefold.
Vinyl didn't outsell vinyl last year. It made more money in the USA due to the exorbitant price placed on the product. But its the same inaccurate line that's trotted out. In Japan CD is still king, and also in Europe particular Germany. CDs aren't going away anytime soon, and yes their stock will rise, as there are so many different versions of albums, mastering etc. than currently on streaming services, not to mention their physical appeal to collectors. Vinyl in the 80's and 90's was for the most part pressed on thin recycled housed in cheap single sleeved sleeves, so rose tinted glasses off!
CDs, will become niche collectors territory as vinyl is today with the masses. The knowing ones have been buying used cds for sometime now as they did with vinyl in the 90's.
In Japan, can confirm the accuracy of this comment. I mean we still have a fully functional Tower Records.
@@KioAMVs not to mention the wonderful Disk Union. I had the good fortune to have 6 business trips to Japan over recent years, I spent most of my spare time and cash buying up as many Japanese CD's as possible, mostly used in great condition and rare!
@@keitholiver1299 If I go to Disk Union I spend too much money > . >
CDs forever 📀📀💿💿📀 they will always be around Not a lot of people like to rent and stream music Physical media will always be better and ownership will always be better
Yes CDs 💿 will be around forever we can’t let people let streaming take over cause it’s rental an. Crap 💩 CDs 💿 are still number 1 in Japan 🇯🇵 and they don’t like streaming
You don't hold it, you don't own it. CD was the peak of audio recording. And you got a little booklet to read while listening. Way better than iTunes or Spotify.
I can't remember the exact date, but I think it was in 1988 that CDs outsold vinyl for the first time and that dynamic was only reversed in 2022 or 2023. This was mostly due to Taylor Swift's catalog being re-released in addition to a few other big pop acts putting out new music. Everyone jumps on the newest trend, which is now vinyl, and sales go up. I suspect it won't be any different in 2024 with Swift having a new record out, so I'm waiting to see the stats for 24 and 25 in terms of CD vs Vinyl sales before I write the epitaph for the CD format. There are tons of videos on this subject, and it's always been a head-scratcher to me since most of them were done in either a year the CD (still!) outsold vinyl, or in the first year that the reverse was true. I may be biased as a CD fan and buyer for life, but the idea that the CD is going away as a mainstay of physical media is just not supported by sales data. If vinyl outsells CDs for a decade running, then perhaps I will change my mind, but until then all this discussion of CDs "making a comeback" is kinda irrelevant. The better question would be "Is vinyl going to stick around this time?". At around $40 for a single record, and the price of everything else going up....my answer would be no. But I guess time will tell.
I be selling CDs 💿 to this day and it’s really really hard People need to stop streaming and support Artist more on buying CDs 💿
I have nearly 3000 CD's and still collecting 💿💿
I have 4000 CDs I think I lost count 😅
CD players are not on the shelves. Even car cd players are hard to find. Streaming the norm. Is the market being played by the manufactures or by the buying public?
Amazon update 2024 know they sell cd 💿 transports for new cars 😅😅😅😅😅 no more excuses for people not to play cds 💿 😊
how does this not have any views
It has my views 💯 percentage CDs 💿 forever and ever Let the losers keep streaming music and never own anything Keep renting ur music You streaming losers 😂😂😅😅😅😅
unlike subscribe based, cds and other phsyical format have another value, the value of owning and collecting, i predict the rise of cd soon just like vinyl.
People are getting sick of streaming services and digital only because theyre realizing you dont truly own anything. Vinyl may be pretty and collectable but it is getting way too expensive now, also you need to spend at least $100 to get a player that wont damage your vinyl, and spend even more to make it sound good. Cd's are very cheap to buy and basically everyone already has a player for it, dvd, blu ray, playstation, its already easy to get into it and you dont need to spend tons on a player that wont damage them like vinyl.
Watch out. So many new design and reengineered hi-end cd players are coming out, with astonishing and amazing sound playback. CDs have never been dead nor stopped production but simply in a short hiatus compared to vinyl which actually went into 6 feet under the ground, literally dead for many years. CDs still have its magic and it is inevitible that sooner than later there will be another long season of vinyl dump, all because of shortlive hype from new generation enthusiasts.
1:10 I have it
I've been a Vinyl hardo for the past 6 years or so as I listen to vinyl about 90% of the time and 10% CD listening while at home . I recently picked up a nice pair of vintage A/D/S L810 speakers about 1 month ago that are in showroom condition running through my vintage 1985 Yamaha R9 . Long story short I played a few records through the A/D/S speakers and then listened to a few CD's so let's just say the roles have flipped as CD's simply sound better especially through a nice set of speakers .
With Vinyl prices going through the roof new and used I really haven't been buying Vinyl . Vinyl is also getting hard to find at thrift stores while CD's are plentiful for $1.99 each as I live a 2 minute walk from a very large and busy " Savers " thrift store so I can at times walk out with 10+ cds that would cost the same as 1 new Vinyl record as this alone is great !!
Do I still enjoy Vinyl ? Yes I do as I own about 700 records but the CD sounds better hands down and it's also nice to be able to just hit the back button on a remote to repeat a song . People are getting caught up into the aesthetics of Vinyl records as to also buy them as collectors items and because they're not cheap people have to claim that Vinyl sounds better using every excuse in the book to justify the cost but the CD wins hands down as far as sound . Trust me as being born in 1976 I remember listening to a CD for the first time -vs- Vinyl around 1989 as theirs an obvious reason as to why the CD took over to begin with .
I got my first CD from a radio contest in front of the Town Square Mall in Owensboro, KY in 1993. If you can name 2 members of Aerosmith or the lead singer I don't remember which, you get a CD. I answered the question and got the Aerosmith album Get a Grip as the prize! It was from 96 WSTO. This was my first CD and I didn't even have a CD player at the time. I also went to the dollar store and bought Busy Bee- Running Thangs I believe it was called. I think I bought a CD player a month or two later.
Used them since 1990 and still do.
I can get an entire album in a thirft store for 1.99 to 5.99. That's way cheaper than buying albums on iTunes and I can back up a soft copy offline. Also, I own the things intead of having to keep paying a recording/streaming company.
dont think people download songs anymore
My local charity shop has 3 cds for a euro. Can’t beat that !!
Before you filmed this did you look in the mirror and think those earrings make me look like a twat? I can help, Yes they do.
CDs 💿 💿 💿 4EVER!!!
CD Cuts at 20kHz and Vinyl Cuts at 20kHz ngl
I continue to buy what I can. Rip them to MP3 and store the disc away for safekeeping and the future. I'm never going to "subscribe".
Finally, the 80’s music industry is back!!!!
Half way through I already know the ending thesis will just be a question to us on what we think
Man i remember good old childhood times watching a movie With my friends
I still remember those legendary cds it's been 10 years
Love cds❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
love cds it is a memory
Cds forever 💿💿and japan makes them with even better sound quality
@@robertquant1122 i see.. nv own a cd from Japan before... but i heard over the internet they have more special songs that is included in the album than elsewhere
It’s actually true I love Japan CDs 💿 because even though there more expensive they always come with bonus songs that are not available on the US version
@@robertquant1122 Ya for some reason, i guess they need to appeal to the Japanese market as well
I buy CDs 💿 from Japan just cause of bonus tracks I love having the extra songs on my CDs 💿 but they are really expensive
I have been buying them again, I would just rather prefer to rip my own lossless files and put them on my phone if I want to stream them in my car. I also enjoy using them in my car or house.
Vinyl did not out sell CD last year. Data shows that many more units of the cd were sold over vinyl. It's just that the price of vinyl albums is substantially higher and the finance and data boffins trying to spin (no pun intended) a story are using value data for their stories over number of units sold. Yep..! Even in the music industry the lies and manipulation are forthcoming to we the people!
I just wish sometimes that they could provide a new format with the great sound of a cd, something that doesn't scratch/skip, and you dont need internet to use the damn thing. Until then I'll continue to buy cds. 😊
In bedtime; One earplug of my discman and another wireless bud from my phone , i do this often because of nostalgia.😅
Everything that's recorded digitally should be on cds. digital to analog doesn't quite work the same. vinyl wears like a tire on a car, the more you use it, the more you wear out the thread.
As I remember it Napster became a thing in part because the recording industry was pushing out albums with maybe one or two good tracks. Most the rest IMHO was garbage, filler. I remember the news media citing this as an issue many times over. Piracy is wrong, that said I really did not feel all that sorry for the RIAA at the time. I think they helped create that monster.
I played a DVD of Seven Pounds on a PlayStation 2, back in 2012
They should just make a hand or stand tablet specified for these mp3 carriers with the full booklet downloaded so i dont have to collect cd's all over my room.
CDs will be here forever.
It should come back as Mini-Disc.
Wow great video! I am drawn to cds, publications, archives!
In Japan they still have CD shops 😊
wait. other country doesn't have cd shops?
@@quas3728 in our case, no one still buys CDs so they closed down a few years ago
@@stanfordmuyila what about discogs and amazon. they are selling a lot of cds
W japan
I miss going into music stores
I certainly hope so, I love CDs

As a mobile dj for many years I used all cds in my dj collection, no matter how many times cd gets played, they always sound excellent & exactly the same. My first 7 yrs. as a dj I used all vinyl, not the same case unfortunately, vinyl will degrade over time especially if played very often. It's just great the feeling of reliability cds give & the top notch quality of sound in my opinion.
Streaming music is not good as listening music from an Audio CD.I miss the CD shops and old school music systems were so good
I loved putting CDs into my Xbox 360 back in the day and messing around with the intereative and visuals the mp3 player on had
As long as vinyl prices keep going up, I'll buy CDs.
Talks about bit perfect copies and then proceeds to show mp3's... really?
CDs rule!!
Yes agreed.
I before playing a cd on a xbox one then a cd discmen or a bombox cuz the disc Doesn't stop the track because when you played on a boombox when I had. I had 2 of Sony's boomboxes. The disk drive seemed to stop the music on the middle of the freaking song. Playing a city on a boombox is not worth it at all. In my opinion
It’s because of autism and marketing!🤘
I was happy when I could RIP them to my computer! I was even happier when I didn’t have to!
RIAA 1H 2022 sales figures are out … looks like that’s that.
Shun the non believer!
I don't miss my CDs. It was annoying how easily they scratched and how you had to hold your portable CD player carefully to prevent damages to the CDs. I much prefer digital, vinyl, and even cassette tapes to CDs.
lol vinyl and cassette tapes scratched easily than cd
No dude vinyls and cassettes are garbage And junk cds Are way better they match dvds 1080p blurays and 4k blurays so cds beats cassettes and vinyls
No because what people play CDs on?
They never gone . Just gave em time to 50 years old people who's buying vinyls because they did "big mistake" last 35 years . Silly
