CDs are just digital files plus waste. Vinyl is a musical ritual.
Legit didn’t know people still bought music. CDs though? How does anyone still have cd players, and why. Vinyl is a hipster fad now so I guess that explains records.
Audiophiles is why. Why CDs? Because the music in a CD is raw uncompressed. So if you got a good amp and speakers, earphones or IEMs you can hear the musicians scratch their beards while playing jazz, or maybe you can hear the sound of dacer’s boobies rubbing against the spandex or clapping harmoniously. LOL 😂, the rest of us will tin can and string headphones, we make due with mp3s.
why did you have to make it weird
I knew piracy was eating into music sales but poor artists and distributors only generating less than $2 of revenue in the US per year? That’s like 1 CD in a clearance sale. They should start a charity.
Okay, is it just me or is the total global revenue for physical media music less than $2 USD a year? I must be reading it wrong.
It’s probably in billions.
Nah, that’s about right, I paid like maybe 20 cents for a cd collection on graigslist, don’t know who bought all those vinyls though
