    Legit didn’t know people still bought music. CDs though? How does anyone still have cd players, and why. Vinyl is a hipster fad now so I guess that explains records.

      My car has a CD player. It sounds a lot better than the radio or any streaming service’s compressed audio. I used to have a SiriusXM subscription and their audio quality was absolute garbage. I don’t pay for any streaming music services now, and have no plans to ever do so.

      I buy CDs of every band I like, because I know that music will last in its perfect quality form for decades and nobody but burglars can take it from me. I use my blu-ray burner to rip them to high-bitrate MP3s for phone and Plex library usage.

      I also have a pile of records that I don’t listen to because I don’t have room to set up my record player right now.

      Audiophiles is why. Why CDs? Because the music in a CD is raw uncompressed. So if you got a good amp and speakers, earphones or IEMs you can hear the musicians scratch their beards while playing jazz, or maybe you can hear the sound of dacer’s boobies rubbing against the spandex or clapping harmoniously. LOL 😂, the rest of us will tin can and string headphones, we make due with mp3s.

          Hey now you know how the Spanish do their cevillana clapping trick!.. You can imagine how their guys do it. Yes it’s painful at first but it gets them ready for war once them clapping things go numb.
