The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD


A few days ago, one of my favorite YouTube channels did a video on the CD. This channel (Asianometry) always does an incredible job telling the story of different technologies, technical industries and/or products.

I think most of you will find the 25 minute video to be very interesting.

@kennymacc maybe I can’t read but nowhere I saw @nonoise to be riled up..He was factual and empathetic as always

 

(I don’t get brownies for this but I should)

 

If anyone is riled up about one extreme, it seems to be you :)

for the record, CDs and vinyl records suck. You all should get rid of them. (Just please post them somewhere so that I can buy them cheap. Same with your turntables and CD players devil

70% of what I buy on vinyl is not available on streaming. That said, if only streaming was available from tomorrow on, I would still survive and still be happy listening to music.

Why can't we just argue about cables not making a difference like normal people?
