I have about 5000 cds. Starting from 1987. I still buy them. People think I am nuts but cd's are cheap now and the interaction and satisfaction you get from a physical product is priceless!
You are correct. I started early this year and have amassed 400+ CDs. Last year I got around 300+ cassette tapes. It is a lot more satisfying than streaming even though I still stream regularly for convenience’s sake like you want to have music on all the time. But yes, I regret getting rid of those old collection I had. Had to start from scratch and I’m loving it everyday.
Nothing compare to cd's and the experience you get.. Going to the store, looking around the cd's, discovering new music or artists and when you get home you open the cd and put it on your stereo system, while you listen to the cd you reed the liner notes etc you get my point but that is something you DONT get if you listen to streaming sites... Also there is a bonus to having physical media.. If you get to meet your artist/band they will autografh your cd's etc I still have near me a record store but the cd section gets smaller and smaller... I find it hard sometimes to find a particular artist or group because sometimes they only release their new material on streaming sites & leave out the physical media... I am a cd colector since 1992 so i have in my colection like 3000 cd's and when i get my free time or days off its music city for me, i listen music for hours... That is something the new generation does not get it
@Focal Point Images Why would you want to resell it? It's not an investment. You really thi k someone or a store will want to buy your vinyl for anything other than a few bucks? Please.
@@robertquant1122nah, digi-packs are in for a reason. They have the same feel and durability of a vinyl album case. If you take care of them, they will last forever. Jewel cases are awful. They are super brittle and break and crack very easily. It feels like you are handling an old computer program rather than an album.
@@tetheredhandsthat’s true tooo but Digi packs make the cds 💿 come out easily and fall to the floor Jewel cases are replaceable if u have bought more there easy to switch
@@pgroove163 I like CD's more but I grew up around vinyl/records,their both better than streaming, streaming is a quicker way to have music without buying it but owning the albums is far better and convenient.
Still collect cds over 2,000 so far. If you can’t hold it you don’t really own it. Streaming a album is a rental you never know if they going to keep it online.
@Focal Point Images Who cares if they depreciate? Why would I sell them. You seriously overestimate how much most vinyls appreciate in price. Maybe the older rare stuff. But for newer music there is no shortage of places where you can buy them new. Those will never appreciate.
@Focal Point Images that depends entirely on the CD and vinyl record. Most vinyl LPs have next to no value. And I just sold a CD on eBay for $98 that still had its original 6.99 price tag on it.
I remember seeing a CD rack at the on base store at my base in Germany (they had only recently become available) while shopping for albums. I asked my friend, "Do you think these things will ever catch on?" They did, and I miss them.
Cds 💿 forever better sound quality u own the music and u support ur favorite artist 🤟🤟📀💿💿📀📀 streaming is garbage 🗑️ I’m not intesrested in renting my music 🎶 for a high feee 🫣🫣🫣🫣
I love my CDS collection! I will never stop buying physical media. I being able to have the cd in physical format is a totally different feeling! the cover art, the feeling put the disc in your sound system... This is a feeling that young people today have no idea what it's like.
Thank u this new generation of lazyyyyy people with streaming makes me sick 🤢 🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢 they rather play a lot of Musi. They will never own instead of listening music with better sound quality 😅
Loved this video, I started in the mid 60s buying vinyl albums, Beatles, Rolling Stones RIP Charlie Watts) , Motown, married and raised a family, we lost our 60s and 70s albums in a hurricane flood. Replaced and started buying CDs, which I love, last year we invested in a new stereo system, and replaced all the albums we lost in the flood,we had fun finding them in local record stores, but to be honest, I enjoy my CDs more, I love skipping a track if I’m not loving that particular song. I love that they take little space up, I love the sound, and the prices too. I found mint brand new CDs in Goodwill for 99 cents…a local,record store has a wall of CD treasures , and I still have a CD player in my car, and love opening up a cd and playing it while I’m driving.. so we went from albums to CDS back to albums, and now back to CDs…. Kept all our vinyl tho, there is nothing like holding a vinyl album cover in your hands 🎶🎶🎶🎶
I never stopped collecting CDs. Not going to go into why, as you've covered all or most of the bases. Let's just say that if you're spending 30 bucks on one LP now, I'm buying 30 clearance CDs out of the dollar bin for the same amount and finding super rare castoffs that I'm selling on ebay at a profit and/or keeping for my own collection, making it a self-sustaining hobby. Right now, smart people, like me, if I may say so, are vacuuming up all the good CD rarities while everybody else is looking the other way and going apesh-t over vinyl. It's like finding money on the sidewalk that everybody else is turning a blind eye to.
I will gladly have the single piece of vinyl for $30! The vinyl sounds better and will only increase in value. cDs are cheap because they are worthless!
The millenials and Gen X are happy with streaming and don't care about sound quality like most boomers, who grew up on vinyl. I enjoy my large album and CD collection and will till I die.
@@danieldaniels7571 Good man.! Both are great. I grew up listening to vinyl, with most of my albums from 1980 and before. I was lucky to grow up during the British Invasion led by The Beatles, Stones and The Who.
@@garyolshan4177 I grew up listening to vinyl as well as cassettes and 8-track tapes. I didn’t get my first CD player until I was 16, and at the time no one else I knew had one and didn’t for several years. Music mattered to me as a teenager, though, and I wanted the best sound quality that was available.
@@danieldaniels7571 16 is far to late for a CD player. Most people your age got that at 4 years old and then brought a Smartphone at 16 but I guess that's way to mainstream for you to do.
Amen to this! Sadly I’m the last of my group of friends who still buys hard copy music. I do listen to streaming services, but when I find something new (or old) I like, I buy the CD.
Streaming is crap and wackkkk 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 cds 💿 better sound quality and u enjoy the full album even more the way the artist wanted u to listen to all their songs Tgay experienced was destroyed with cheap ass streaming 👎👎👎👎physical media forever Let’s keep cds 💿 alive and keep buying them
so so tru!!! I have around 4,000+ and still buying "its my thing" some ultra rare and I would never ever find them again on any online store ... I have payed so much for my collection over the years I'm a collector and reading the inlay and holding the disc from 25 year ago brings a smile to my face its like holding a piece of time between your fingers I have CDs that took me over 8 years to find and to own it on physical media than mp3 (that I detest) is just a pleasure I will never stop buying them I have some still sealed from when I first purchased them 25 year ago I had to sell many (that I regret) due to space and buying more that I needed at that time immediately before they were deleted like I say on my profile page.... CD’s… 💿…Cloud services fail, Hard drives crash. LPs wear out., Cassettes deteriorate, as long as you don't scratch them, CDs stay put. 💿
@@audioarkitekts totally!!! I just love the artwork and especially CD Maxi releases that have like 6 or 7 mixes of the same track the way I see a CD maxis is its dedicated to 1 track in a little package like this sun mix beach mix sea mix and shell mix and sand mix etc...;) and mostly the mixes will only be available on the CD treleased at that of release time . the main mix or radio edit may make compilations but other versions and remixes are obscure and will no doubt never see the light of day and I am a sucker for the silk screen I have some lovely artwork on CDs!!!!!!
I use streaming for discovery, then buy physical copies of my absolute favorites. It’s my #1 hobby and it definitely does feel like a relationship haha. I pay a little extra to say “I want you in my life to stay.”
Vinyl is awesome, too. I miss them. CDs have always been more versatile for me, though. They can be played on computers, gaming systems and...ummm... CD players. 😂
I ❤️ listening to music on CDs & Vinyl because no one apart from the neighbours know what you are actually listening to! It’s Data protection for music 🎶👍 & you own it!
MP3s use what's called "lossy compression". They achieve their amazing compression rate (down to 1/10th original size) by tossing away parts of the file they think you won't notice. As a result, it can end up feeling a bit flat and hollow when you listen to it. The PCM encoded data on a compact disk is a pure high bitrate audio stream. You immediately notice depth, clarity and atmosphere that's missing from the compressed files. This is especially the case if you have some good quality headphones. A format like FLAC uses what's called "lossless compression". It will save space by reducing redundant data, but is able to fully reconstruct the data of the original. FLAC is only able save about 50% of the file size, and can also be a bit processor intensive to decode (many portable players of the past wouldn't play FLAC due to the limited computational ability of the audio decoder chips, and the also from the higher power draw. These days, if you want an inexpensive portable FLAC player, you can just use an old Android phone, and use an app like AIMP for playback. You could carry something like 60 FLAC encoded albums on a 32gig microSD card.
I really agreed with your points on the opportunities. I enjoyed collecting cds from christmas or birthday gifts and then later in life spending my chore allowance on cds. I always wanted a walkman in the early 2000's until i got an mp3 player. I loved downloading music to my mp3 and a few mp4 videos. It was a philips mp4
Recently turned 34 back on the 14th of December, I been drawn to compact discs since around the age of 10-11. Before that, I, like other Gen Y'er children of the 80s, focused on what the radio played our parents had on in the car without much notice. I am happy to hear people are still enjoying CD's in the 2020s. What I experienced with just big box stores in my preteen-teen years that had listening booth stations set up, I sure hope budding kids to teens these days get to enjoy this hallmark moment of music exploration in the flesh. Maybe not similar, but hey just walking into a store and be hit with wonder. I did not have mother/father shops in my hometown. When I did venture over to Rehoboth Beach, DE, USA, did I stumble on the old Record & Tape Traders (Baltimore based record shop originally) when visiting relatives during school breaks. Wish I could convince my younger self to snatch those Kraftwerk albums I saw on the shelves there near the boardwalk on the downtown strip. After all, they are not easy to come by in person. ;- ) Any ways, I last inventoried my collection being around 1,986 I believe several months ago. I should try again in the new year if not before Christmas vacation looms near.
Similar upbringing here. I loved going to our local big box stores and putting on the headphones to listen to the latest music. It was that last little push to buy the album. Nothing felt greater than the 30 min it took to open the CD and finally play it on my discman or Aiwa all in one system. Those were the days 😆
I have grown up listening to music on vinyl, cassete and cd. I am 50 years old. The last album i purchased was in 2015. It was Coldplay album A Head full of dreams. I do still listen to music on VH1.
I have a cd collection, I purchase them on EBay and check bargain bins. I purchase cds at Joe Nadine’s Gallery Of Sounds and I order cds through them. I heard you mentioned him on your video on RUclips , I’ll always buy cds 😊
I was born in the 70’s, and I remember vinyl; but CD’s were “it” for me!!!! Excellent sound quality, easy to maintain and consistency!!!!! I can’t believe the CD days are over. It happened so quickly 😢
Great video, Mike! I love CDs and Always will. Do you think it's better to store them Vertically, or horizontally, or would you say it doesn't matter? .... Some ppl say storing them vertically will cause the sound quality to deteriorate over time, and some ppl say the Exact same thing about storing them horizontally! It's so frustrating. Please respond. 8-)
I collect Music Cds since the mid 80's. About three dozens of my CDs from the 80s are destroyed, because the colour print on Cds started to "eat" the CD up, often with red colour. Other CDs get even transparent and useless.Lucky, most are still ok after Decades. Btw old CDs have often a higher weight than newer ones. I love CDs and still buy now and then
The first cd I ever bought was in the early 90's as a kid. It was the Beavis & Butthead soundtrack. Fast forward to today, I just got back from a local record store. Walked out with 3 vinyls and 5 cds.
I have a lot of cds bought in France and Romania and other places that are just not available streamed. Ownership is the issue. Streaming isn’t true ownership - they can remove an album or track at will
Absolutely agreed with you, too much stremed music not only does make harm to the mudic industry but it also produces a lack of interest in collecting music so we have new young generarions Who are iliterate about the conteporean music
I have also good collection of music cds, LPs and cassettes. Love to flip the cds to select the favourite album and tracks. This can't be replaced by streaming the music.
I was born in 1949, I went from vinyl to CDs (reluctantly) but agree now I made the right choice; but I stopped short of MP3. Gimme something I can see and hold in my hands.
A 💿 with a great player and DAC ..can be spectacular sounding ..and with the newest computational power now available in most DAC’s it can only get better..now if we can just find a way to remaster ( and un compress) the music we love🥲
CD audio in my case a balanced audio output and a surround speaker system is amazing but then streaming audio is just as good. If it won’t play a quick clean in a ultrasonic cleaner brings it back to life. From a broadcasters perspective it’s a nice simple unit to play music or other audio content. I have CD players that can do weird things to CDs include playing them backwards. Quick question why is this a feature. I have no idea but now I know what some backwards audio is saying. Great video keep up the good work from some one who treats all physical media as flawed but with character. Which is why I guess we love it still.
I buy physical CDs. Then in Windows Media Player Legacy, I copy the CD. Then I copy them to my Sony Walkman. I keep all of my physical CDs, so that (I presume) I am not breaking the law. My Walkman has 16GB of internal memory and I bought a 128GB micro-SD card, which I can have around 200 ripped CDs in the player. But, anyone can have, like, 600 ripped CDs. I just don't want to spend too much, that's why.
For very small artists, CDs can be the only way to find out more about them, through the liner notes, if they don't have that info online. (e.g. a Siberian melodic death metal band I like has none of their lyrics online, so I rely on their booklets for lyrics.)
I am visually impaired so I rely on sound, CDs must make a comeback especially the Discman, why can’t Sony bring back the Sony Discman? It’s ridiculous, and if you want a portable CD player when you shop online you have to resort to cheap shit and shotty portable cd players and they don’t even last long, what’s the deal with that? I think that streaming services have their place but CDs do too, so please comeback compact disc, we really need you.🥺
I bought my first cd player (vertical loading panasonic) in 1986) and same year my first cd that was kraftwerk electric cafe. first time I played that cd I was fully amazed on how great the sound was. after 37 years I still own that cd and sounds so fantastic as the first time I played it. CDs forever
Not sure if anyone has commented on this but without the CD certain music content wouldn't even be available. I'm a boomer and my taste in music is pretty varied, from ambient, jazz, classic rock, but my passion is CLASSICAL, (baroque in particular). Early classical music wasn't pressed in mass on vinyl. Furthermore, the streaming industry is pandering to what is most popular to the most people....and your WIFI signal better be good from day to day or you're done. Sure, you get the basics from the well known; Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky, but its their (chamber music), and the music of a hundred other lesser known composers that only came to the forefront with the production capability of CD. Enormous, beautiful box sets are now available covering everything a composer wrote to a score sheet. Haydn wrote 104 symphonies alone, that recording feat wasn't accomplished in its entirety to media until the CD. Hundreds of interpretations, from hundreds of conductors & orchestra; none of that variety on streaming OR vinyl. THE CD..... single handedly opened up an entire world of music I only knew from the greatest of the greatest's hits.
Thrift stores and garage sales are great places to pick up used CD's at a bargain. Record stores unfortunately are the most expensive. It's almost worth it to buy them new on Amazon
I still have all my CD's, even ones I bought when I was a kid with my pocket money. Still buying them to this day too. One thing I'd like to see is new CD decks become a little more affordable, the cheapest CD deck here is $700 AUD.
I listen to most of my music by streaming it locally from copies of CDs I've ripped to computer. I keep, and will continue keeping, my physical CD collection in reserve. I don't possess a dedicated transport because, whilst I have great respect for the CD, when it comes to listening to particular music I want to hear, it's not that different from LP as a format. How many tracks on a specific LP or CD album does one really like and often want to listen to? In the the vast majority of cases (there are a few exceptions, of course), I find it's less than half and sometimes only one or two of them. With LP, it's such a pain to change albums or skip/repeat tracks, and even with CD, IMHO it still involves faffing about a bit. I still support artists by buying their CDs, but local streaming of FLACs is just so flexible. I have playlists of favourite tracks I can listen to without ever having to skip anything, and can repeat at will. I think it's the best of both worlds, and I don't have to rely on streaming services that, after all, could go belly up at any time, or not hold my favourite versions of tracks. I'm not knocking anyone who loves the rituals associated with playing physical media. It's just that it's not for me, and today, because I've eschewed the ritual, I listen more than ever -- all day long if I like (I'm retired) on a second (near field) system in my study. Now and then I'll have a listening session on the main system in the lounge -- but that's as far as my ritual goes. Now, IMHO, there's never been a better and more convenient way to enjoy one's music collection.
From a collector standpoint I can see the value but from a general usage point of view the public has already switched over to streaming. Vinyl and CD's will always be fringe markets. This applies to movies and TV shows as well. My guess is there are very few people with shelves and shelves of physical media. It's like a postage stamp. They still exist and people collect them but who actually uses them? This is an age of email/texting with digital payments and document transfers. The need for a postage stamp is long gone.
The international music labels in Thailand, they are no longer selling a new CDs , The CD Stores are struggle, most of the CDS in the market right now are Japan edition, it's just a sad stories here.
Ich liebe den Klang von Vinyl, habe hunderte LP's, aber ich habe auch einen Luxman DZ-03 Tube-CD-Player, auf dem die CD's wie Vinyl klingen! Deshalb habe ich auch hunderte CD's und werde weiter welche kaufen!
Cant disagree with this. Have a couple of dacs and a carefully selected mid end HIFI setup.! As this setup is quite revealing Spotify is completely without characteristics like snap and attack. Base is dead and treble is muffled. Whereas formats like *.Wav, *.flac and DSD is mindblowing. I really like BANDCAMP style of business, there I order CDs or Vinyl + get to download the music in a format of choosing. Wave files for me. CD´s or *.wav has great sound at 16bit/44.1khz. The mathematics in the format allows it to reproduce the typical audible range of human hearing; 20hz - 20khz. Straight on without compression or acoustic trickery. So::: BRING BACK THE PHYSICAL FORMATS!!!
I have around 9,000 CDs and still counting. Great to hear a voice of common sense among all the claptrap we hear from the vinyl junkies who continually diss the CD
I'm a huge fan of CDs and I have a big collection I don't know how many I haven't bothered to count but the reason why I say CDs need to make a comeback is because you actually have a physical piece of it artists themselves let's not forget you get to listen to those songs over and over again plus you own a piece of History the Digital streaming services make more money compared to the artists themselves and the artists themselves get less money from it once the music that is up to the even listening to for a long time once it gets taken down it's no longer yours belongs to the Digital streaming service who put it up in the first place that's why I say CDs need to make a comeback now only just for the artist themselves but also for the fans.
I'm glad I was able to spark a conversation. I couldn't agree more. If CDs start to pick up more sales, it is in the artists best interests to start making more remasters etc to revive the format.
My CD stereo setup is see through so it looks like a vinyl spinning and the sound quality is actually 10x better than my Vinyl setup. If you invest in a great setup, and not just follow the Vinyl trend right now, CD's are a way better experience.
I hope CD's keep selling. I am a "vinyl first" person if it's not so rare that it's stupidly expensive. But having the music is the primary goal for me. I have a high end turntable, & CD player and also use " Tidal Hi-Fi". No streaming service has everything, with CD's continuing there is a format available for all of us.
I was born in 1991, I started to collect CDs in the year 2000, now I have around 2000-3000 CDs I never moved away from that format I find it to sound better than vinyl more clean sound and CD is perfect format to listen to Hard Trance, Gabber, Speedcore, House music etc. I miss music stores selling CDs back in 2000-2005 there was a lot of stores that sold CDs here in Denmark but by 2007 many of them closed down nowadays the only music stores left only care about vinyl and I don't want vinyl.
6:15 Bring back the CD 💿 burner with plenty of vengeance!!! Make CDs record up to 8 hours. Make them double sided. Make CD burners accessible, small, portable and reliable. No need for a computer. Just insert USB stick with audio, insert disk, choose recording to burn 🔥 and away you go.
I haven't watched the whole video, but one big reason is to stop with the Vinyl madness. High prices, doubtful music reproduction quality, high maintenance (cleaning and more cleaning).
Probably depends on location. They persist in North America, but are almost extinct in Europe, and completely forgotten in poorer countries. The few wealthy literati who care about physical media are into vinyl.
Shhh! I'm trying to collect all the CD's of bands I loved that I missed back in the day. The last thing I need is a vinyl style resurgence pushing up prices.
Lol vinyls surging popularity was never going to hold up . Vinyl is a pain in the asz ,overpriced and manufacturing is terrible,constant issues for buyers. Cds are solid , easy , and reliable. They never died, and I do think they'll come back big again.
My cousin made three cd mixes for us to play at our family reunion. He past away 4 yrs later and I still have the cds he personally made for us. Physical media is more than the music.
Lower sales don’t necessarily correlate with lower use, as many play the CDs they already own. A bigger issue is the poor quality of most of the music today. But in one sense the durability and quality of CDs is why I think the industry has pushed streaming. Like renting culture, they like a regular passive income. Laziness and convenience is bound to appeal to many, but a physical medium does have its own unique advantages.
The biggest issue is that records labels doesn't care. They do not re stock on time. I'm fighting all the timewith Warner and Capitol to get stuffs like Little River Band or classics 80's bands like that. We should complaint more often to get those titles on the stores

Same here buying CDs 💿 until I die and keep supporting them Streaming derives sucked and killed the music insdustry and artist don’t make money like that anymore

I never stopped buying CDs. I think CDs are still great. They're durable and resilient. They don't warp. They don't get eaten. Magnets won't harm them. They have no grooves to wear out. You don't need to pay someone or buy special equipment to put your CD albums onto your computer. Finding specific songs is easier with a CD than with a cassette or record. They are easy to store and don't take up much space. While I think it's nice to have digital streaming, I never want CDs to go away.
@@robertquant1122that’s right cds are always better to own then stream collect your favorite artists and bands on cd The Rolling Stones and David Bowie are my favorite artists and The Dave Clark 5 I own close to 4000 cds and I wanna buy more cds

i'm currently 14, and I have an unhealthy obession at this point with the 90's. I recently finally was able to start my cd collection and I can never go back to streaming services the sound of the cd is so much more clear and smoother than mp3's. Plus most cd's the songs don't cut abruptly they blend into eachother smoothly especially in trance all stars cd's. The feeling of going cd hunting and being able to find that cd you've been looking for is one of the best feelings ever, it gives you a feeling of nostalgia even if you weren't born in the decade.
I was a kid in the early 90's and a teen mid/late 90's. I was there, and it was glorious. It's great to see the younger generation appreciate what we had back then. I miss the 90s very much. Lastly, had you been around in the 90s, we most likely would have been friends. I was in to goth and trance as well. While I'm older now, I dress my age and don't wear all black anymore or band shirts, but I still listen to and love the music.
Love your content Mike. For me CD's are the closest thing to perfection. Sound, durability, ease of care,storage etc. I love the fact that people are shopping for vinyl and unloading their cd's cheaply. it's a Bonanza for those of us who love those shiny little discs.
Not only better: WAY better! The point is that all the joung kids nowadays don't even want to have an hi-fi set, that was my DREAM when I was a teenager... they just listen to music with the crappy quality of their wireless EarBuds.
@@BICIeCOMPUTERconGabriele Agreed buddy. Thing is, do you think, they are aware, that the sound is more clear and precise? I'm old school, hifi was a big hobby of mine.
But who buys mp3 when uncompressed digital downloads have been available for over a decade? I can get 24bit digital downloads for less cost than a CD as I'm not paying for a bunch of plastic environmental waste.
I enjoy owning my music in physical format and always have. I still purchase vinyl albums, cd’s and 45’s with picture sleeves and always will because there is nothing like owning your music library and sharing it with others, listening that is. I’m in the process of upgrading my record and CD player, speakers and accessories in general. Enjoyed your show and take care all.
I hope CDs don’t die. I am just happy that even though streaming and downloads are in trend, CDs, Vinyls and even Casettes are still manufactured. It’s just so fun to touch the music you love, to have a physical copy of an artist’s hardwork and artistry and keep it forever, not just some music stored from your phone.
No, they are here to stay. If we can sit here and wait for a small spaceship to land on and asteroid after a 18000 billions km trip, we can fix up some cheap CDs and cassettes.. No problems, they will be your friend, but we probably will need to fork up a few Euros or Dollars from tim to time ;-)
The physical music belongs to you and if the net is disrupted you still have your music at your fingertips. Streaming is okay but relying on any outside provider is not good if the system or net goes down. All technology has limitations.
Yeah because the problem with streaming services like Spotify, you don't really own the music. They do. And they have the decision to take it down at anytime. But with physical formats like vinyls records, audio cassettes and CD's like I have, YOU own the music, just as long as you have the player.
I've finished building up a 700 plus vhs collection, almost finished DVD collection, and have been working on my CD and Cassette collection. Have a 1988 Panasonic stereo set-up with the matching speakers, receiver, turntable, cassette deck, and cd player, and I completely put myself back into my childhood of the 90s. I'm doing my best to keep this part of history of alive.
Hi from the UK. Really enjoyed the video and all that was discussed. I have been collecting CDs since 1985 and have over 3000 of them on display in a dedicated music room. I love the CD format and am a massive fan of the CD Box set or special edition. They are just great. I sporadically collect old vinyl for nostalgic reasons but the crackle and hiss can be off putting-never a problem with the CD. Newly released vinyl is very expensive here and can be up to three times the cost of the CD, this is particularly true of re-issues of classic albums. I am sure the CD will be with us for some time to come.
I’ve been collecting CDs since 1986 and have a rather massive collection myself. I have been collecting records since 1972, and while I still love my vinyl, anyone who thinks it sounds better than a CD (non withstanding CDs with bad loud mastering) is kidding themselves. As for the cost difference, I remember choosing CD over vinyl in the late ‘80s when the new CDs were twice the price of a new LP and used LPs were only a dollar or two because having better quality sound and features was worth the extra money to me.
I’m an old boomer and I love CDs! I grew up on vinyl and still love a good vinyl pressing now and then, but CDs are great! Everything you said is true! I buy CDs and burn them to MDs for frequent listening! Love ‘em both! Thanks for your video!

I have been collecting CD's since 1989. I have almost 3000 of them. I am so glad I collected them now because when you have the physical CD in your hands, You can't beat that. Plus I have noticed from 2017 until 2021 lots of people are buying CD's now more than ever before! Thank you Audio Arkitekts, Great video. I am subscribed
I love cds 💿 forever ima keep buying them and selling Them I like selling them helping the artist 🧑🎨 and making money off cds 💿 owning music and movies on blue rays and DVDs 📀 is also me
They can take away your cloud, Pandora or spotify and your music is now gone... when you have physical media, it can't be taken away and it can be sold when you're done with it.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I recently came across a portion of my old CD collection that includes CDs I bought way back when I was in middle school in the early to mid 90s and when I was in high school in the late 90s. It also includes albums that I bought when I was in my early to mid 20s (to date myself, I just turned 40 last month). I think the last CD I ever purchased was around 2005/2006. As I was going through my collection, it occurred to me that there were so many albums that I wish I had, the main one being the Natalie Merchant box set collection (I've been a huge Natalie Merchant/10,000 Maniacs fan since the 90s), so I went on Amazon and ordered it. It was a bit of an impulsive purchase and it was kind of expensive since it was a big box set with multiple albums, but it was so worth every penny. It was my very first CD purchase in 15+ years. When it arrived in the mail and as I was opening it, I felt this huge rush of nostalgia come over me. I felt like I had been transported back in time to the 90s/early 2000s. There is just something so gratifying and magical about opening a brand new album. With that said, I have started buying CDs again. My husband thinks I've gone totally insane, but I want to build a massive collection of my favorite bands and artists. Yes, I do still consume music digitally through RUclips, iTunes, Pandora, etc., because we all want that instant gratification of being able to listen to a certain song or a specific artist or genre at any given time and have instant access to it on our smart phones, tablets, and computers, but there is just something so special about having that physical album in your possession with the liner notes, the album art, the track list, the physical disc, even the smell of a fresh, new album. I know that many stores like Target and Best Buy have entirely stopped selling CDs in recent years, which I find very sad, because there definitely is still a market for them. I don't think CDs will ever become truly obsolete. Look at vinyl. That has made a huge comeback. I think we are going to see the same sort of comeback for CDs in the future.
The CDs 💿 made a comeback already in 2022 Thanks to me that still sell CDs 💿 and keep it alive along with aomeba records on Hollywood amazon Target 🎯 and eBay Even new artist and new music will always be available on Cd 💿 only lazyyy people that don’t support artist and are cheap on their money stream Really music owners buy CDs 💿 and support artist and go to Record shops 🏬
Streaming sucks stupid people these days streaming music on their cheap phones 🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢🤢 and USBS are even worse putting all the music on USBS makes the sound quality worse is lazynesss and stupid cramming too much music
The CD market has never been so dead that there wasn't a pricey market for out-of-print and collectible CDs. You may be able to get the popular stuff for pennies right now, but if you start digging deeper, it's not hard to find used CDs that the owner wants $30 - $40 for. Don't expect everything to be a bargain.
Imagine my surprise when i listened to my favorite songs on CDs and WAV formats, just feels like the music came into a different space, it came out of a tiny box and literally came into real life, the singers if it was mixed and recorded right, the singers voice feels like it has more headroom, more space more reverb, this incredible ammount of detail that my ears could never hear before in mp3 files, the volume on CDs are also louder, and more crystaline clear especially on the low end. I will never know why Vynils are prefered more over CDs people need to get their ears checked
I think it will help if target and Walmart put their acts together and start offering and selling more cds 💿 cause they only selll a little bit of CDs 💿 they need to offer a lot of CDs 💿 and keep them alive and kelp getting more CDs 💿 😊😊
@@TheDrewzdaddy07 I use Spotify/RUclips as a “try before you buy” kind of service. If I like/love the album I’ve been listening to, then I’ll buy it on iTunes or on music cd. At least I can save the music onto hard drives, memory cards, blank cds, various devices, etc. And I can enjoy them for as long as I want. None of this “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy” crap.
If remastered properly, the CD is the best-sounding medium available. Add to that the photos and booklet containing track-by-track annotation -- all of which make the physical CD release a musical joy to behold.
Cds 💿 forever u own the music 😅better sound quality and u support the trust and better yet You don’t need internet Can do that with cheap ass streaming 🤢🤢🗑️🤮🤮🗑️🗑️
I never stopped collecting CDs. Not going to go into why, as you've covered all or most of the bases. Let's just say that if you spending 30 bucks on one LP now, I'm buying 30 clearance CDs out of the dollar bin for the same amount and finding super rare castoffs that I'm selling on ebay at a profit and/or keeping for my own collection, making it a self-sustaining hobby. Right now, smart people, like me, if I may say so, are vacuuming up all the good CD rarities while everybody else is looking the other way and going apesh-t over vinyl. It's like finding money on the sidewalk that everybody else is turning a blind eye to.
For me CD is the best format for audio. Have some from mid 80s that work as new. Try a good CD with some great quality headphones, it's awesome!!! or with decent speakers. No words.
Thank you so much for this video, I love every word you say in it! When I was 20 years old I had way over one hundred CD's albums in my collection but I must to sell almost all of them because I was going to collage and I needed money. Now, as a 31 year old guy who has a job (not so well paid) I'm collecting vinyls from time to time. But man, they are so expensive. Few days ago I wanted to buy an album of Tom Waits called "Orphans". It's like a three albums in one kind of thing. I've looked in the internet and I'd have to spend over $100 for the vinyls. That was nuts. I went to the CDs category and saw a second hand "Orphans" album for $18.60. I bought it immidetely. That way and that day I was born again. The CD album collector. I started to remember my teen years when I listen to CD album for the first time or togeteher with my close friend. The great part was always looking at the booklets. Talking about the music, sharing it. It feel so nostalgia and so great. And you know what. I want to feel that again! What about vinyls? You're right. The're for the rich guys. Nowadays I can have three new CD albums in a price of one new Vinyl. Or even four to five second hand CDs. Thats do the math for me. The moment you mention of the posibility of music shops comeback had makes me smile, but in a good way. I want atleast one of them back to my small town. It would be remarkable. Thank you so much for this video. It is priceless to me. Sorry about my english but I'm Polish and I don't speak fluent english. Thumbs and sub for the video! Cheers.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I am in the same situation. To be honest I would rather pay a portion of the price for a perfect version of the album than quadruple for a version that will not only be less dynamic but also not as much of a hassle to turn the record over. I'm happy that you were able to find love for the CD once again!
Yes, the CD should come back - although it is now 40 years old. For us the tactile feeling reading the booklet is always great and more intensive than looking up only a digital catalogue. And we can hear music even when our internet connection is down😀
I have about 5000 cds. Starting from 1987. I still buy them. People think I am nuts but cd's are cheap now and the interaction and satisfaction you get from a physical product is priceless!
You are correct. I started early this year and have amassed 400+ CDs. Last year I got around 300+ cassette tapes. It is a lot more satisfying than streaming even though I still stream regularly for convenience’s sake like you want to have music on all the time. But yes, I regret getting rid of those old collection I had. Had to start from scratch and I’m loving it everyday.
I badly need physical support. I’ve got almost 1000 and I’m not going to stop…
Nothing compare to cd's and the experience you get.. Going to the store, looking around the cd's, discovering new music or artists and when you get home you open the cd and put it on your stereo system, while you listen to the cd you reed the liner notes etc you get my point but that is something you DONT get if you listen to streaming sites... Also there is a bonus to having physical media.. If you get to meet your artist/band they will autografh your cd's etc
I still have near me a record store but the cd section gets smaller and smaller... I find it hard sometimes to find a particular artist or group because sometimes they only release their new material on streaming sites & leave out the physical media...
I am a cd colector since 1992 so i have in my colection like 3000 cd's and when i get my free time or days off its music city for me, i listen music for hours...
That is something the new generation does not get it
@Focal Point Images Why would you want to resell it? It's not an investment. You really thi k someone or a store will want to buy your vinyl for anything other than a few bucks? Please.
Me too matey
The best format ever!! Still buy tons of cd box set, digpacks and jewel cases. Long live cds!!!
Agreed
The best non physical format is the DSD, the best physical format was the SA-CD (DST).
Jewel cases are wayyy better than digpacks because they get scratch easily and jewel cases protect the CDs 💿 wayyyy better not to get scratch
@@robertquant1122nah, digi-packs are in for a reason. They have the same feel and durability of a vinyl album case. If you take care of them, they will last forever. Jewel cases are awful. They are super brittle and break and crack very easily. It feels like you are handling an old computer program rather than an album.
@@tetheredhandsthat’s true tooo but Digi packs make the cds 💿 come out easily and fall to the floor Jewel cases are replaceable if u have bought more there easy to switch
This 65 yr. old boomer still loves both LPs and CDs, and believes in supporting art and local commerce. Thank you for this.
Im 15 and i love cd and vinyl since a lot of my family doesnt use their cd or vinyl they just give them to me which is cool
@@nebulavortex3531 :-) perfect . . . .
The CD is like books, they will never die!
I hope too man, that they never go away😔
I agree! They will live on forever
I've always felt like vinyl was a book and CDs were like paperback books..
@@pgroove163 I like CD's more but I grew up around vinyl/records,their both better than streaming, streaming is a quicker way to have music without buying it but owning the albums is far better and convenient.
@@audioarkitekts :-) perfect . . . .
CD is alive and rocking at my house! As long as they’re not remastered and compressed to death they’re great!
Agreed
@@audioarkitekts Many of 70s-80s cds (that i collect) are remasters. You are telling me that remaster cds are not good quality of sound?
@@andreassouth1523 I think remastered albums sound great idk what they’re talking abt
@@aaliyahstark7948 a lot of older recordings NEEDED to be remastered
Still collect cds over 2,000 so far. If you can’t hold it you don’t really own it. Streaming a album is a rental you never know if they going to keep it online.
@Focal Point Images Who cares if they depreciate? Why would I sell them. You seriously overestimate how much most vinyls appreciate in price. Maybe the older rare stuff. But for newer music there is no shortage of places where you can buy them new. Those will never appreciate.
@Focal Point Images that depends entirely on the CD and vinyl record. Most vinyl LPs have next to no value. And I just sold a CD on eBay for $98 that still had its original 6.99 price tag on it.
@Focal Point Images what kind of dumb argument is that? SMH.
I remember seeing a CD rack at the on base store at my base in Germany (they had only recently become available) while shopping for albums. I asked my friend, "Do you think these things will ever catch on?" They did, and I miss them.
Thats right. There is too much emotional attachment with CD's. Our friends always shared CD's when we were kids.
I miss it!
Cds 💿 forever better sound quality u own the music and u support ur favorite artist 🤟🤟📀💿💿📀📀 streaming is garbage 🗑️ I’m not intesrested in renting my music 🎶 for a high feee 🫣🫣🫣🫣
I love my CDS collection! I will never stop buying physical media. I being able to have the cd in physical format is a totally different feeling! the cover art, the feeling put the disc in your sound system... This is a feeling that young people today have no idea what it's like.
Thank u this new generation of lazyyyyy people with streaming makes me sick 🤢 🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢 they rather play a lot of Musi. They will never own instead of listening music with better sound quality 😅
Loved this video, I started in the mid 60s buying vinyl albums, Beatles, Rolling Stones RIP Charlie Watts) , Motown, married and raised a family, we lost our 60s and 70s albums in a hurricane flood. Replaced and started buying CDs, which I love, last year we invested in a new stereo system, and replaced all the albums we lost in the flood,we had fun finding them in local record stores, but to be honest, I enjoy my CDs more, I love skipping a track if I’m not loving that particular song.
I love that they take little space up, I love the sound, and the prices too. I found mint brand new CDs in Goodwill for 99 cents…a local,record store has a wall of CD treasures , and I still have a CD player in my car, and love opening up a cd and playing it while I’m driving.. so we went from albums to CDS back to albums, and now back to CDs…. Kept all our vinyl tho, there is nothing like holding a vinyl album cover in your hands 🎶🎶🎶🎶
:-)
You cannot get the autograph of the artist on a download.

Couldn't agree more. I wouldn't ignore the vinyl dollar bins too. I found a couple gems in there as well!
I will gladly have the single piece of vinyl for $30! The vinyl sounds better and will only increase in value. cDs are cheap because they are worthless!
@@bltvd the technical specifications make it pretty obvious that CDs sound better than vinyl.
@@bltvd simply deaf you are.
"Shhhh..." C'mon, man. Let's keep it on the low-down,ok?
The millenials and Gen X are happy with streaming and don't care about sound quality like most boomers, who grew up on vinyl. I enjoy my large album and CD collection and will till I die.
I’m Gen X and much prefer physical media with a preference for CDs over vinyl.
@@danieldaniels7571 Good man.! Both are great. I grew up listening to vinyl, with most of my albums from 1980 and before. I was lucky to grow up during the British Invasion led by The Beatles, Stones and The Who.
@@garyolshan4177 I grew up listening to vinyl as well as cassettes and 8-track tapes. I didn’t get my first CD player until I was 16, and at the time no one else I knew had one and didn’t for several years. Music mattered to me as a teenager, though, and I wanted the best sound quality that was available.
But boomers have bad hearing and are deaf. You need hearing aid to properly enjoy a nice sounding MP3 on a iPod nano.
@@danieldaniels7571 16 is far to late for a CD player. Most people your age got that at 4 years old and then brought a Smartphone at 16 but I guess that's way to mainstream for you to do.
Amen to this! Sadly I’m the last of my group of friends who still buys hard copy music. I do listen to streaming services, but when I find something new (or old) I like, I buy the CD.
Streaming is crap and wackkkk 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 cds 💿 better sound quality and u enjoy the full album even more the way the artist wanted u to listen to all their songs Tgay experienced was destroyed with cheap ass streaming 👎👎👎👎physical media forever Let’s keep cds 💿 alive and keep buying them
so so tru!!! I have around 4,000+ and still buying "its my thing" some ultra rare and I would never ever find them again on any online store ...
I have payed so much for my collection over the years I'm a collector and reading the inlay and holding the disc from 25 year ago brings a smile to my face its like holding a piece of time between your fingers I have CDs that took me over 8 years to find and to own it on physical media than mp3 (that I detest) is just a pleasure I will never stop buying them I have some still sealed from when I first purchased them 25 year ago I had to sell many (that I regret) due to space and buying more that I needed at that time immediately before they were deleted
like I say on my profile page....
CD’s… 💿…Cloud services fail, Hard drives crash. LPs wear out., Cassettes deteriorate, as long as you don't scratch them, CDs stay put. 💿
I am with you on this. I love collecting
@@audioarkitekts
totally!!! I just love the artwork and especially CD Maxi releases that have like 6 or 7 mixes of the same track the way I see a CD maxis is its dedicated to 1 track in a little package
like this sun mix beach mix sea mix and shell mix and sand mix etc...;)
and mostly the mixes will only be available on the CD treleased at that of release time .
the main mix or radio edit may make compilations but other versions and remixes are obscure
and will no doubt never see the light of day and I am a sucker for the silk screen I have some lovely artwork on CDs!!!!!!
*great video sir! And I use 5 game consoles to play CDs on my giant sound bar in the room!* 💡
I use streaming for discovery, then buy physical copies of my absolute favorites. It’s my #1 hobby and it definitely does feel like a relationship haha. I pay a little extra to say “I want you in my life to stay.”
Bravo CDs rule. Could never understand the vinyl resurgence.
Vinyl is awesome, too. I miss them. CDs have always been more versatile for me, though. They can be played on computers, gaming systems and...ummm... CD players. 😂
I ❤️ listening to music on CDs & Vinyl because no one apart from the neighbours know what you are actually listening to! It’s Data protection for music 🎶👍 & you own it!
I want physical media. LPs, CDs, or tape. Open reel tape is great but very expensive.
Wow I had no idea that the CD quality is much better than MP3’s. Now I need to get my hands on a CD player!
That is what I love to hear!
MP3s use what's called "lossy compression". They achieve their amazing compression rate (down to 1/10th original size) by tossing away parts of the file they think you won't notice. As a result, it can end up feeling a bit flat and hollow when you listen to it. The PCM encoded data on a compact disk is a pure high bitrate audio stream. You immediately notice depth, clarity and atmosphere that's missing from the compressed files. This is especially the case if you have some good quality headphones. A format like FLAC uses what's called "lossless compression". It will save space by reducing redundant data, but is able to fully reconstruct the data of the original. FLAC is only able save about 50% of the file size, and can also be a bit processor intensive to decode (many portable players of the past wouldn't play FLAC due to the limited computational ability of the audio decoder chips, and the also from the higher power draw. These days, if you want an inexpensive portable FLAC player, you can just use an old Android phone, and use an app like AIMP for playback. You could carry something like 60 FLAC encoded albums on a 32gig microSD card.
I really agreed with your points on the opportunities. I enjoyed collecting cds from christmas or birthday gifts and then later in life spending my chore allowance on cds. I always wanted a walkman in the early 2000's until i got an mp3 player. I loved downloading music to my mp3 and a few mp4 videos. It was a philips mp4
Recently turned 34 back on the 14th of December, I been drawn to compact discs since around the age of 10-11. Before that, I, like other Gen Y'er children of the 80s, focused on what the radio played our parents had on in the car without much notice. I am happy to hear people are still enjoying CD's in the 2020s. What I experienced with just big box stores in my preteen-teen years that had listening booth stations set up, I sure hope budding kids to teens these days get to enjoy this hallmark moment of music exploration in the flesh. Maybe not similar, but hey just walking into a store and be hit with wonder. I did not have mother/father shops in my hometown. When I did venture over to Rehoboth Beach, DE, USA, did I stumble on the old Record & Tape Traders (Baltimore based record shop originally) when visiting relatives during school breaks. Wish I could convince my younger self to snatch those Kraftwerk albums I saw on the shelves there near the boardwalk on the downtown strip. After all, they are not easy to come by in person. ;- ) Any ways, I last inventoried my collection being around 1,986 I believe several months ago. I should try again in the new year if not before Christmas vacation looms near.
Similar upbringing here. I loved going to our local big box stores and putting on the headphones to listen to the latest music. It was that last little push to buy the album. Nothing felt greater than the 30 min it took to open the CD and finally play it on my discman or Aiwa all in one system. Those were the days 😆
On the Nostalgia part .. 'if you were born in the late 80's ...' well those born in the early 70's also bought more music on CD than any other format.
I have grown up listening to music on vinyl, cassete and cd. I am 50 years old. The last album i purchased was in 2015. It was Coldplay album A Head full of dreams. I do still listen to music on VH1.
I have a cd collection, I purchase them on EBay and check bargain bins. I purchase cds at Joe Nadine’s Gallery Of Sounds and I order cds through them. I heard you mentioned him on your video on RUclips , I’ll always buy cds 😊
I was born in the 70’s, and I remember vinyl; but CD’s were “it” for me!!!! Excellent sound quality, easy to maintain and consistency!!!!! I can’t believe the CD days are over. It happened so quickly 😢
I am an avid jazz and big band music lover with a little rock thrown in. I was surprised to find a lot of that on CDs!
Great video, Mike! I love CDs and Always will. Do you think it's better to store them Vertically, or horizontally, or would you say it doesn't matter? .... Some ppl say storing them vertically will cause the sound quality to deteriorate over time, and some ppl say the Exact same thing about storing them horizontally! It's so frustrating. Please respond. 8-)
The beauty of CDs is you can store them either way. I always do vertically for aesthetics, but it doesn't matter either way.
@@audioarkitekts Great! Thank you so much for your repsonse, sir 8-)
I collect Music Cds since the mid 80's.
About three dozens of my CDs from the 80s are destroyed, because the colour print on Cds started to "eat" the CD up, often with red colour. Other CDs get even transparent and useless.Lucky, most are still ok after Decades. Btw old CDs have often a higher weight than newer ones.
I love CDs and still buy now and then
I'm still buying CDs second hand , the Bluetooth and media compressing Is still to bad.. the quality reduce badly.
Vinyl sucks. The so-called "warmth" is groove-and-stylus distortion. And both vinyl and stylus begin to wear with the first playing.
The first cd I ever bought was in the early 90's as a kid. It was the Beavis & Butthead soundtrack.
Fast forward to today, I just got back from a local record store. Walked out with 3 vinyls and 5 cds.
I have a lot of cds bought in France and Romania and other places that are just not available streamed. Ownership is the issue. Streaming isn’t true ownership - they can remove an album or track at will
Them buy cds 💿 better sound quality and u can enjoy it the rest of ur life until it gets scratch or break 🤟🤟🤟📀📀💿
Absolutely agreed with you, too much stremed music not only does make harm to the mudic industry but it also produces a lack of interest in collecting music so we have new young generarions Who are iliterate about the conteporean music
Agreed Tomas!
I love CD's and always will I support my favorite artists
I have also good collection of music cds, LPs and cassettes. Love to flip the cds to select the favourite album and tracks. This can't be replaced by streaming the music.
I was born in 1949, I went from vinyl to CDs (reluctantly) but agree now I made the right choice; but I stopped short of MP3. Gimme something I can see and hold in my hands.
A 💿 with a great player and DAC ..can be spectacular sounding ..and with the newest computational power now available in most DAC’s it can only get better..now if we can just find a way to remaster ( and un compress) the music we love🥲
CD audio in my case a balanced audio output and a surround speaker system is amazing but then streaming audio is just as good. If it won’t play a quick clean in a ultrasonic cleaner brings it back to life. From a broadcasters perspective it’s a nice simple unit to play music or other audio content. I have CD players that can do weird things to CDs include playing them backwards. Quick question why is this a feature. I have no idea but now I know what some backwards audio is saying. Great video keep up the good work from some one who treats all physical media as flawed but with character. Which is why I guess we love it still.
I buy physical CDs. Then in Windows Media Player Legacy, I copy the CD. Then I copy them to my Sony Walkman. I keep all of my physical CDs, so that (I presume) I am not breaking the law. My Walkman has 16GB of internal memory and I bought a 128GB micro-SD card, which I can have around 200 ripped CDs in the player. But, anyone can have, like, 600 ripped CDs. I just don't want to spend too much, that's why.
For very small artists, CDs can be the only way to find out more about them, through the liner notes, if they don't have that info online. (e.g. a Siberian melodic death metal band I like has none of their lyrics online, so I rely on their booklets for lyrics.)
I am visually impaired so I rely on sound, CDs must make a comeback especially the Discman, why can’t Sony bring back the Sony Discman? It’s ridiculous, and if you want a portable CD player when you shop online you have to resort to cheap shit and shotty portable cd players and they don’t even last long, what’s the deal with that? I think that streaming services have their place but CDs do too, so please comeback compact disc, we really need you.🥺
I bought my first cd player (vertical loading panasonic) in 1986) and same year my first cd that was kraftwerk electric cafe. first time I played that cd I was fully amazed on how great the sound was. after 37 years I still own that cd and sounds so fantastic as the first time I played it. CDs forever
Not sure if anyone has commented on this but without the CD certain music content wouldn't even be available. I'm a boomer and my taste in music is pretty varied, from ambient, jazz, classic rock, but my passion is CLASSICAL, (baroque in particular). Early classical music wasn't pressed in mass on vinyl. Furthermore, the streaming industry is pandering to what is most popular to the most people....and your WIFI signal better be good from day to day or you're done. Sure, you get the basics from the well known; Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky, but its their (chamber music), and the music of a hundred other lesser known composers that only came to the forefront with the production capability of CD. Enormous, beautiful box sets are now available covering everything a composer wrote to a score sheet. Haydn wrote 104 symphonies alone, that recording feat wasn't accomplished in its entirety to media until the CD. Hundreds of interpretations, from hundreds of conductors & orchestra; none of that variety on streaming OR vinyl. THE CD..... single handedly opened up an entire world of music I only knew from the greatest of the greatest's hits.
I still have most of my old CDs and records. Had not bought CDs in a looong time and just started visiting record stores and buying CDs again.
Thrift stores and garage sales are great places to pick up used CD's at a bargain. Record stores unfortunately are the most expensive. It's almost worth it to buy them new on Amazon
Your all words are true in my opinion
cd is always legend and it's helps,support to our artists
Thank you!
I still have all my CD's, even ones I bought when I was a kid with my pocket money. Still buying them to this day too.
One thing I'd like to see is new CD decks become a little more affordable, the cheapest CD deck here is $700 AUD.
I would like to see the same. Amazon does offer a couple of options.
I listen to most of my music by streaming it locally from copies of CDs I've ripped to computer. I keep, and will continue keeping, my physical CD collection in reserve. I don't possess a dedicated transport because, whilst I have great respect for the CD, when it comes to listening to particular music I want to hear, it's not that different from LP as a format.
How many tracks on a specific LP or CD album does one really like and often want to listen to? In the the vast majority of cases (there are a few exceptions, of course), I find it's less than half and sometimes only one or two of them. With LP, it's such a pain to change albums or skip/repeat tracks, and even with CD, IMHO it still involves faffing about a bit.
I still support artists by buying their CDs, but local streaming of FLACs is just so flexible. I have playlists of favourite tracks I can listen to without ever having to skip anything, and can repeat at will. I think it's the best of both worlds, and I don't have to rely on streaming services that, after all, could go belly up at any time, or not hold my favourite versions of tracks.
I'm not knocking anyone who loves the rituals associated with playing physical media. It's just that it's not for me, and today, because I've eschewed the ritual, I listen more than ever -- all day long if I like (I'm retired) on a second (near field) system in my study. Now and then I'll have a listening session on the main system in the lounge -- but that's as far as my ritual goes. Now, IMHO, there's never been a better and more convenient way to enjoy one's music collection.
My friend spent over £130k on high end audio to play CD’s & Records. They still make extremely high end cd player/dacs & record decks
From a collector standpoint I can see the value but from a general usage point of view the public has already switched over to streaming. Vinyl and CD's will always be fringe markets. This applies to movies and TV shows as well. My guess is there are very few people with shelves and shelves of physical media. It's like a postage stamp. They still exist and people collect them but who actually uses them? This is an age of email/texting with digital payments and document transfers. The need for a postage stamp is long gone.
The international music labels in Thailand, they are no longer selling a new CDs , The CD Stores are struggle, most of the CDS in the market right now are Japan edition, it's just a sad stories here.
Ich liebe den Klang von Vinyl, habe hunderte LP's, aber ich habe auch einen Luxman DZ-03 Tube-CD-Player, auf dem die CD's wie Vinyl klingen! Deshalb habe ich auch hunderte CD's und werde weiter welche kaufen!
Cant disagree with this. Have a couple of dacs and a carefully selected mid end HIFI setup.! As this setup is quite revealing Spotify is completely without characteristics like snap and attack. Base is dead and treble is muffled. Whereas formats like *.Wav, *.flac and DSD is mindblowing. I really like BANDCAMP style of business, there I order CDs or Vinyl + get to download the music in a format of choosing. Wave files for me.
CD´s or *.wav has great sound at 16bit/44.1khz. The mathematics in the format allows it to reproduce the typical audible range of human hearing; 20hz - 20khz. Straight on without compression or acoustic trickery. So::: BRING BACK THE PHYSICAL FORMATS!!!
Yes!
I never stopped buying cd's but I also only buy ALBUMS that I like in their entirety with very few exceptions.
I have around 9,000 CDs and still counting. Great to hear a voice of common sense among all the claptrap we hear from the vinyl junkies who continually diss the CD
I'm a huge fan of CDs and I have a big collection I don't know how many I haven't bothered to count but the reason why I say CDs need to make a comeback is because you actually have a physical piece of it artists themselves let's not forget you get to listen to those songs over and over again plus you own a piece of History the Digital streaming services make more money compared to the artists themselves and the artists themselves get less money from it once the music that is up to the even listening to for a long time once it gets taken down it's no longer yours belongs to the Digital streaming service who put it up in the first place that's why I say CDs need to make a comeback now only just for the artist themselves but also for the fans.
I'm glad I was able to spark a conversation. I couldn't agree more. If CDs start to pick up more sales, it is in the artists best interests to start making more remasters etc to revive the format.
CDs definitely are cheaper today than vinyl LPs.
My CD stereo setup is see through so it looks like a vinyl spinning and the sound quality is actually 10x better than my Vinyl setup. If you invest in a great setup, and not just follow the Vinyl trend right now, CD's are a way better experience.
I hope CD's keep selling. I am a "vinyl first" person if it's not so rare that it's stupidly expensive. But having the music is the primary goal for me. I have a high end turntable, & CD player and also use " Tidal Hi-Fi". No streaming service has everything, with CD's continuing there is a format available for all of us.
I was born in 1991, I started to collect CDs in the year 2000, now I have around 2000-3000 CDs I never moved away from that format I find it to sound better than vinyl more clean sound and CD is perfect format to listen to Hard Trance, Gabber, Speedcore, House music etc. I miss music stores selling CDs back in 2000-2005 there was a lot of stores that sold CDs here in Denmark but by 2007 many of them closed down nowadays the only music stores left only care about vinyl and I don't want vinyl.
Love it! That’s an excellent collection!
凄いיופי! Peace.
yo tambien amo CD, saludos
6:15 Bring back the CD 💿 burner with plenty of vengeance!!! Make CDs record up to 8 hours. Make them double sided. Make CD burners accessible, small, portable and reliable. No need for a computer. Just insert USB stick with audio, insert disk, choose recording to burn 🔥 and away you go.
I have about 7000 Cds but I no longer find CDs in Brazil. There are no more stores. There are no more CD factories.
Rent or own your music.
It's that simple.
I choose to own.
I haven't watched the whole video, but one big reason is to stop with the Vinyl madness. High prices, doubtful music reproduction quality, high maintenance (cleaning and more cleaning).
CD's never left...they still sell millions a year......and sales are increasing now.
It appears a few music streaming loving people wish the CD dead
I am 51 years old and I am buying more CD's now than I ever have, much of it contemporary music.
Sadly I dont see them in target or best buy anymore. Out of sight, out of mind. The corporations like it that way.
Probably depends on location. They persist in North America, but are almost extinct in Europe, and completely forgotten in poorer countries. The few wealthy literati who care about physical media are into vinyl.
I love CDs! I dj with CDs till
Shhh! I'm trying to collect all the CD's of bands I loved that I missed back in the day. The last thing I need is a vinyl style resurgence pushing up prices.
Ha ha! Now I know your secret
Too late, it's already happened.
CD is cheap and not a revamp unlike vinyl
I have over 3000 💿 buy them all the time
Lol vinyls surging popularity was never going to hold up . Vinyl is a pain in the asz ,overpriced and manufacturing is terrible,constant issues for buyers. Cds are solid , easy , and reliable. They never died, and I do think they'll come back big again.
My cousin made three cd mixes for us to play at our family reunion. He past away 4 yrs later and I still have the cds he personally made for us. Physical media is more than the music.
❤
Physical media cds 💿 is ownership 😅 its urs forever something 😢 streaming will never offer heck u can even framed ur cds 💿
Lower sales don’t necessarily correlate with lower use, as many play the CDs they already own. A bigger issue is the poor quality of most of the music today.
But in one sense the durability and quality of CDs is why I think the industry has pushed streaming. Like renting culture, they like a regular passive income. Laziness and convenience is bound to appeal to many, but a physical medium does have its own unique advantages.
The biggest issue is that records labels doesn't care. They do not re stock on time. I'm fighting all the timewith Warner and Capitol to get stuffs like Little River Band or classics 80's bands like that. We should complaint more often to get those titles on the stores
Music today is absolutely utter garbage, I like the stuff from the 70s, jazz, jazz fusion, japanese stuff, recorded analogue and digitized.
Thank u technology made people lazyyyyyt cheap and think music should be freee forever That’s what streaming is 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤢🤢🤢🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️ Let’s keep physical media alive cds 💿 and records forever True music lovers buy music and support their favorite artist 🗑️🗑️🤟🗑️🗑️🗑️💿💿💿💿📀📀📀📀 cds forever
I buy and listen to CDs, always have, always will. No nostalgia here. Just love the sound. Also, I like to own the discs, not be dependent on any third party streaming services for my music and know a lot more thanks to CD booklets.
:-)
Same here buying CDs 💿 until I die and keep supporting them Streaming derives sucked and killed the music insdustry and artist don’t make money like that anymore
I’ve been buying cds 💿 since I was young and best was popular for cds 💿 so trust me I have a lot 😅 and I’m never gonna stop buying them there cool and better sound quality and u own the music and support the artist 🧑🎨 📀📀💿💿📀📀📀🙏🙏🙏🤟🤟🤟🤟🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
I never stopped buying CDs. I think CDs are still great. They're durable and resilient. They don't warp. They don't get eaten. Magnets won't harm them. They have no grooves to wear out. You don't need to pay someone or buy special equipment to put your CD albums onto your computer. Finding specific songs is easier with a CD than with a cassette or record. They are easy to store and don't take up much space. While I think it's nice to have digital streaming, I never want CDs to go away.
I feel the same way!
CDs 💿 will always be better then streaming is all rental and USBs sucked 😅CDs 💿💿 better sound quality and u own it 😊
@@robertquant1122that’s right cds are always better to own then stream collect your favorite artists and bands on cd The Rolling Stones and David Bowie are my favorite artists and The Dave Clark 5 I own close to 4000 cds and I wanna buy more cds
@@mikebarooshian7255that’s cool 😎 keep buying and supporting artist I have nothing against records cause is still physical media but I’m addicted tl cds more
i'm currently 14, and I have an unhealthy obession at this point with the 90's. I recently finally was able to start my cd collection and I can never go back to streaming services the sound of the cd is so much more clear and smoother than mp3's. Plus most cd's the songs don't cut abruptly they blend into eachother smoothly especially in trance all stars cd's. The feeling of going cd hunting and being able to find that cd you've been looking for is one of the best feelings ever, it gives you a feeling of nostalgia even if you weren't born in the decade.
I was a kid in the early 90's and a teen mid/late 90's. I was there, and it was glorious.
It's great to see the younger generation appreciate what we had back then. I miss the 90s very much.
Lastly, had you been around in the 90s, we most likely would have been friends. I was in to goth and trance as well.
While I'm older now, I dress my age and don't wear all black anymore or band shirts, but I still listen to and love the music.
Love your content Mike. For me CD's are the closest thing to perfection. Sound, durability, ease of care,storage etc. I love the fact that people are shopping for vinyl and unloading their cd's cheaply. it's a Bonanza for those of us who love those shiny little discs.
I agree! It's the best time to buy CDs right now.
Cds better sound quality u own the music and support the artist 💿💿😂📀📀🤟🤟🤟🤟🙏🙏🙏🏬🏬 physical media forever
Sound quality is way better than mp3. Enhances the sound quality of your system.
Word! Not even CLOSE to any compressed file-based format! Peace.
🤦♂️
Not only better: WAY better! The point is that all the joung kids nowadays don't even want to have an hi-fi set, that was my DREAM when I was a teenager... they just listen to music with the crappy quality of their wireless EarBuds.
@@BICIeCOMPUTERconGabriele
Agreed buddy. Thing is, do you think, they are aware, that the sound is more clear and precise? I'm old school, hifi was a big hobby of mine.
But who buys mp3 when uncompressed digital downloads have been available for over a decade? I can get 24bit digital downloads for less cost than a CD as I'm not paying for a bunch of plastic environmental waste.
I still prefer to own my music on cd rather than digital downloads and i am also buying stuff on cassettes again with new releases on the format .
Same here. My kids think im a dinosaur for collecting physical Media. For me , the sound from CD and LP is unmatched.
@@M3LTUP :-)
Cassettes are more delicate like records But cds 💿 more east to take care of
Great video. Long live the CD!!!!
I enjoy owning my music in physical format and always have. I still purchase vinyl albums, cd’s and 45’s with picture sleeves and always will because there is nothing like owning your music library and sharing it with others, listening that is. I’m in the process of upgrading my record and CD player, speakers and accessories in general. Enjoyed your show and take care all.
I hope CDs don’t die. I am just happy that even though streaming and downloads are in trend, CDs, Vinyls and even Casettes are still manufactured. It’s just so fun to touch the music you love, to have a physical copy of an artist’s hardwork and artistry and keep it forever, not just some music stored from your phone.
No, they are here to stay. If we can sit here and wait for a small spaceship to land on and asteroid after a 18000 billions km trip, we can fix up some cheap CDs and cassettes.. No problems, they will be your friend, but we probably will need to fork up a few Euros or Dollars from tim to time ;-)
The physical music belongs to you and if the net is disrupted you still have your music at your fingertips. Streaming is okay but relying on any outside provider is not good if the system or net goes down. All technology has limitations.
Yes and artist make more money off CDs 📀📀📀 and better sound quality and u own the music
Yeah because the problem with streaming services like Spotify, you don't really own the music. They do. And they have the decision to take it down at anytime. But with physical formats like vinyls records, audio cassettes and CD's like I have, YOU own the music, just as long as you have the player.
And you can have the artist sign physical copies of the stuff you bought (CDs, Casettes, Vinyls)!
Reason why CDs don’t need to return: I’m not gonna like the prices
If ur buying them used there going to be cheap but brand new cds 💿 are still affordable
I've finished building up a 700 plus vhs collection, almost finished DVD collection, and have been working on my CD and Cassette collection. Have a 1988 Panasonic stereo set-up with the matching speakers, receiver, turntable, cassette deck, and cd player, and I completely put myself back into my childhood of the 90s. I'm doing my best to keep this part of history of alive.
I have cds, haven’t stopped buying cds here in Lima Peru.
Hi from the UK. Really enjoyed the video and all that was discussed. I have been collecting CDs since 1985 and have over 3000 of them on display in a dedicated music room. I love the CD format and am a massive fan of the CD Box set or special edition. They are just great. I sporadically collect old vinyl for nostalgic reasons but the crackle and hiss can be off putting-never a problem with the CD. Newly released vinyl is very expensive here and can be up to three times the cost of the CD, this is particularly true of re-issues of classic albums. I am sure the CD will be with us for some time to come.
I’ve been collecting CDs since 1986 and have a rather massive collection myself. I have been collecting records since 1972, and while I still love my vinyl, anyone who thinks it sounds better than a CD (non withstanding CDs with bad loud mastering) is kidding themselves. As for the cost difference, I remember choosing CD over vinyl in the late ‘80s when the new CDs were twice the price of a new LP and used LPs were only a dollar or two because having better quality sound and features was worth the extra money to me.
Cds 💿 forever let’s keep buying them people show Artist there’s a market out there that care about physical media 🤟🤟🤟📀📀💿💿💿💿
I’m an old boomer and I love CDs! I grew up on vinyl and still love a good vinyl pressing now and then, but CDs are great! Everything you said is true! I buy CDs and burn them to MDs for frequent listening! Love ‘em both! Thanks for your video!
What are MDs? I have a mini disc player which I burn vinyl and cassettes into. I didn't think mini discs were still available. Let me know what you think?
@@thetruthfornow6045 minidiscs (MD) are still available from eBay. Sony still manufactures the discs, at least for now! I still love the medium and how it sounds!
@@marklanier8657 thank you. I love the medium also. I have a Sony recorder and playback. It still works fine. If it fails are there similar decks available either new or refurbished available for sale?
@@thetruthfornow6045 yes, there are lots of portable units for sale. I’m not sure about full decks, but I’m fairly certain they are offered as well. The description of each unit should say whether it is refurbished or not. Hope this helps!
I have been collecting CD's since 1989. I have almost 3000 of them. I am so glad I collected them now because when you have the physical CD in your hands, You can't beat that. Plus I have noticed from 2017 until 2021 lots of people are buying CD's now more than ever before! Thank you Audio Arkitekts, Great video. I am subscribed

I love cds 💿 forever ima keep buying them and selling Them I like selling them helping the artist 🧑🎨 and making money off cds 💿 owning music and movies on blue rays and DVDs 📀 is also me
I never stopped buying CDs

I used to work for Wherehouse Music and seriously miss the interaction with customers about music.
Same here!
I feel you. I used to work for Zia Records.
Me too! I worked in the Glendale Galleria Wherehouse in Southern California in the mid 90’s. Best days of my life!
I never “stopped” buying CD’s!! 👍👍👍
They can take away your cloud, Pandora or spotify and your music is now gone... when you have physical media, it can't be taken away and it can be sold when you're done with it.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I recently came across a portion of my old CD collection that includes CDs I bought way back when I was in middle school in the early to mid 90s and when I was in high school in the late 90s. It also includes albums that I bought when I was in my early to mid 20s (to date myself, I just turned 40 last month). I think the last CD I ever purchased was around 2005/2006. As I was going through my collection, it occurred to me that there were so many albums that I wish I had, the main one being the Natalie Merchant box set collection (I've been a huge Natalie Merchant/10,000 Maniacs fan since the 90s), so I went on Amazon and ordered it. It was a bit of an impulsive purchase and it was kind of expensive since it was a big box set with multiple albums, but it was so worth every penny. It was my very first CD purchase in 15+ years. When it arrived in the mail and as I was opening it, I felt this huge rush of nostalgia come over me. I felt like I had been transported back in time to the 90s/early 2000s. There is just something so gratifying and magical about opening a brand new album. With that said, I have started buying CDs again. My husband thinks I've gone totally insane, but I want to build a massive collection of my favorite bands and artists. Yes, I do still consume music digitally through RUclips, iTunes, Pandora, etc., because we all want that instant gratification of being able to listen to a certain song or a specific artist or genre at any given time and have instant access to it on our smart phones, tablets, and computers, but there is just something so special about having that physical album in your possession with the liner notes, the album art, the track list, the physical disc, even the smell of a fresh, new album. I know that many stores like Target and Best Buy have entirely stopped selling CDs in recent years, which I find very sad, because there definitely is still a market for them. I don't think CDs will ever become truly obsolete. Look at vinyl. That has made a huge comeback. I think we are going to see the same sort of comeback for CDs in the future.
:-)
The CDs 💿 made a comeback already in 2022 Thanks to me that still sell CDs 💿 and keep it alive along with aomeba records on Hollywood amazon Target 🎯 and eBay Even new artist and new music will always be available on Cd 💿 only lazyyy people that don’t support artist and are cheap on their money stream Really music owners buy CDs 💿 and support artist and go to Record shops 🏬
Streaming sucks stupid people these days streaming music on their cheap phones 🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢🤢 and USBS are even worse putting all the music on USBS makes the sound quality worse is lazynesss and stupid cramming too much music
The CD market has never been so dead that there wasn't a pricey market for out-of-print and collectible CDs. You may be able to get the popular stuff for pennies right now, but if you start digging deeper, it's not hard to find used CDs that the owner wants $30 - $40 for. Don't expect everything to be a bargain.
that`s true with collecting anything
Imagine my surprise when i listened to my favorite songs on CDs and WAV formats, just feels like the music came into a different space, it came out of a tiny box and literally came into real life, the singers if it was mixed and recorded right, the singers voice feels like it has more headroom, more space more reverb, this incredible ammount of detail that my ears could never hear before in mp3 files, the volume on CDs are also louder, and more crystaline clear especially on the low end.
I will never know why Vynils are prefered more over CDs people need to get their ears checked
I think it will help if target and Walmart put their acts together and start offering and selling more cds 💿 cause they only selll a little bit of CDs 💿 they need to offer a lot of CDs 💿 and keep them alive and kelp getting more CDs 💿 😊😊
Buy a CD, pay once, listen countless times. Streaming: pay every time you want to hear a song.
What? Spotify is about 10 bucks a month that's one CD not a great argument
@@TheDrewzdaddy07 I use Spotify/RUclips as a “try before you buy” kind of service.
If I like/love the album I’ve been listening to, then I’ll buy it on iTunes or on music cd.
At least I can save the music onto hard drives, memory cards, blank cds, various devices, etc.
And I can enjoy them for as long as I want.
None of this “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy” crap.
@@TheDrewzdaddy07 fair point but what happens if spotify decides to cancel their services?
Music streaming sucks..
@@claudioromantiko684 And it's a rip-off.
If remastered properly, the CD is the best-sounding medium available. Add to that the photos and booklet containing track-by-track annotation -- all of which make the physical CD release a musical joy to behold.
Cds 💿 forever u own the music 😅better sound quality and u support the trust and better yet You don’t need internet Can do that with cheap ass streaming 🤢🤢🗑️🤮🤮🗑️🗑️
I never stopped collecting CDs. Not going to go into why, as you've covered all or most of the bases. Let's just say that if you spending 30 bucks on one LP now, I'm buying 30 clearance CDs out of the dollar bin for the same amount and finding super rare castoffs that I'm selling on ebay at a profit and/or keeping for my own collection, making it a self-sustaining hobby. Right now, smart people, like me, if I may say so, are vacuuming up all the good CD rarities while everybody else is looking the other way and going apesh-t over vinyl. It's like finding money on the sidewalk that everybody else is turning a blind eye to.
I feel like CD's or vinyl's are definitely worth collecting, especially if they're signed by the artist. That makes them unique and priceless.
For me CD is the best format for audio. Have some from mid 80s that work as new.
Try a good CD with some great quality headphones, it's awesome!!! or with decent speakers. No words.
Thank you so much for this video, I love every word you say in it! When I was 20 years old I had way over one hundred CD's albums in my collection but I must to sell almost all of them because I was going to collage and I needed money. Now, as a 31 year old guy who has a job (not so well paid) I'm collecting vinyls from time to time. But man, they are so expensive. Few days ago I wanted to buy an album of Tom Waits called "Orphans". It's like a three albums in one kind of thing. I've looked in the internet and I'd have to spend over $100 for the vinyls. That was nuts. I went to the CDs category and saw a second hand "Orphans" album for $18.60. I bought it immidetely. That way and that day I was born again. The CD album collector. I started to remember my teen years when I listen to CD album for the first time or togeteher with my close friend. The great part was always looking at the booklets. Talking about the music, sharing it. It feel so nostalgia and so great. And you know what. I want to feel that again! What about vinyls? You're right. The're for the rich guys. Nowadays I can have three new CD albums in a price of one new Vinyl. Or even four to five second hand CDs. Thats do the math for me.
The moment you mention of the posibility of music shops comeback had makes me smile, but in a good way. I want atleast one of them back to my small town. It would be remarkable.
Thank you so much for this video. It is priceless to me. Sorry about my english but I'm Polish and I don't speak fluent english. Thumbs and sub for the video! Cheers.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I am in the same situation. To be honest I would rather pay a portion of the price for a perfect version of the album than quadruple for a version that will not only be less dynamic but also not as much of a hassle to turn the record over. I'm happy that you were able to find love for the CD once again!
Thank you :-) . . . .
Yes, the CD should come back - although it is now 40 years old. For us the tactile feeling reading the booklet is always great and more intensive than looking up only a digital catalogue. And we can hear music even when our internet connection is down😀
