CD sales

...up 47% in America in 2020/21 (according to the RIAA).
Maybe the kids are buying after hearing the streams.
I say kids because surely, old gits like you (you know you are) have already bought most of the CDs you're ever going to buy, haven't you?

I confess I’ve bought more new CDs this year than in all of 2021. But that’s because I can not hear Hyperion recordings via Qobuz and a few desirable releases piqued my interest.

I've actually bought a couple of used ones - (something I've never done with the hardware).

But I can't see myself ever buying as many as I did in the past (when they were usually more expensive 😒).

I need more shelving to put them on. Both CDs and vinyl have overflowed available storage.

I did try those but I found it too annoying to peruse and choose a CD. Each to his own.

It is a pfaff but it certainly saved space.
I have four albums categorised alphabetically by genre......

I find that having a look without actually seeking anything out makes me think 'ooh - not listened to that for a while...'

Filing them away would mean there would be things I'd probably not listen to, and miss out as a result.

I've boxed and stashed a few hundred, but still have CDs to flick through in a couple of racks.

Got to (somewhat reluctantly) admit that having the lot stored on hard drive has its advantages.
I've got a fairly good knowledge of track location on compilation discs, but there have been occasions when the search function has found the appropriate location much more quickly for me.

Thats a surprise. I still love my CD's. Will never sell them

We had our laminate floors redone actually the guy came back yesterday to finish the lounge. We emptied all the units out and today when I was putting the CD's back it's surprising how many doubles I have I don't know why but they are all there. I got the old ""Are you getting rid of some of those as you don't listen to them anymore"

CDs are my preference. With a good CDP and a well recorded CD I haven't heard better. I have many, some are 35 years old. I will continue to purchase them as long as they are available 👍
