I get the OP; that feeling of "saudade", the Portuguese word for the yearning for a time and circumstance that will never return. It's got nothing to do with CD's themselves, but what their sudden absence indicates about change.
Much like when Borders went under and took with it all those CD listening stations. Or when, as previously mentioned, when Tower Records vanished. There's an impersonal nature to streaming and house hermiting; and while CD's were always overpriced, they did represent a schema of socialization that neither Tidal nor Alexa can ever really replicate.
