Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs?


I'm curious why you still play CDs in the age of streaming. I recently got back into CD listening and I'm curious if your reasons align with mine, which are:

  • Enjoying the physical medium—the tactile nature of the case, the disc, the booklet, etc.
  • Forcing myself to actually listen to an album, versus being easily distracted by an algorithm, or "what's next" in my playlist.
  • Actually owning the music I purchase, versus being stuck with yet another monthly subscription.

Others?

Why Not

At ATOMIC Records, California they have thousands of CDs all in very good to excellent shape some still in their original wrappers -  at the most 4.99 with many and I mean many for .99 cents.

I buy the .99 cent one's for their case alone, to replace the cases I break.  And I have the tendency to break/crack the cases.

So there you have it.  Cheap prices, great condition what more can I ask for. Ok OK so I am cheap wish they were for free - 

Have an awesome Holiday.
