The demise of the music CD inevitable?
Hi,
Back on campus, my senior year. Everywhere I look, its all earbuds and cell phones streaming audio. None of my friends would even consider purchasing a CD! I as well almost completely stopped purchasing CD's now that I have lossless streaming from TIDAL. It seems that SQ is not an issue anymore for this generation, its content that is most important and there is no loss of it out there in the streaming world.

Had my 27 year old Nephew over and owns 0 CDs. Streaming or a few iTunes downloads is all he listens. My kids are a few years older than him, used to buy CDs, but now You Tube seems to satisfy them. I do think CDs will ultimately become a niche product most likely to be bought by old farts like myself |

I think Vinyl may outlast the CD. My Fathers system spins mostly Vinyl and he loves it, and I must admit, depending on the quality of the recording, sounds pretty good. However, its a "Zen" like process he goes through prepping his vinyl for playback, plus you have to go through the hassle of flipping it over half way through the recording. Still though, for me, I prefer the sound of hi-res downloads or streaming. |
