Comment on CD sales are making an unexpected comeback amid a retro tech boom
bigbangdangler@reddthat.com 1 week agoThank you for doing the lord’s work.
I love that physical media is getting new life, but CDs are not archival in nature. It’s a drastically different problem from not owning anything, but I don’t want unreadable CDs to push people back to streaming.
I’ll also mention that a major benefit of vinyl records – despite cracks and pops and quality turntables being generally expensive – is that they are so dirt simple as to be effectively immune from similar issues. Not trying to sway opinions at all, but as physical media goes, it still exists for a reason.
Personally, I have both CDs and vinyl. And tapes!
