I used to belong to an audio forum. A guy said that he ripped all of his CDs to his computer and sold all of his CDs. His computer crashed and he lost everything. I'll bet he wished he had kept his CDs!

I'm an independent musician about to release my first CD and Vinyl. I want to thank you all for buying physical media and supporting new artists 👏

[henryashley]

I own about 4, 000 cds. Never getting rid of them. Made the mistake of selling over 6, 500 vinyl albums in 1996.

I'm about to turn 24 years old, and my CD collection is getting close to 500. All my college buddies joke that I'm singlehandedly keeping the CD industry alive lol. Always will be a champion of buying CDs!

I recently started listening to my old CDs recently. Great sound quality with no threat of an advert suddenly interrupting

I bought CDs all throughout high school, despite their decline in popularity (this was the early 2010s). I got made fun of for lugging around a portable CD player and 2 or 3 CDs, but I stubbornly stuck with the format. One of my favorite things to do at night before bed was picking out the CDs that I would take with me to school the next day. A decade later, I still buy CDs and will continue to buy them for as long as I can.

I love the fixation people have on vinyl, it lets us by CDs for one third the price.

Nothing quite like unwrapping a special release gatefold album. Digital will never replace the feeling of sitting down and pouring over the album art while listening to a new release of your favourite band.

Not only should people be buying up physical media…you should also be buying up the players that allow you to consume them. DVD players, cd players, cassette players, record players, 8-track players…:everything. And make sure you have backups in case they break.

I recently found an entire box full of metal albums next to a dumpster and most of the bands i had never heard of... This resparked that love for listening to physical media and i am pretty thankful for that.

[j.t.cooper]

I've bought about 400 CD's over the last 4 years. A lot of them are rare OOP first pressings from Japan and West Germany. I will never give up my physical media collections.

You hit the nail on the head. “Loosing sense of community. Keeping bricks and mortar stores open is vital

[ZackMorris]

I'm 42 and never stopped buying cds. I'm also very fortunate in that there is an incredible independent cd/Vinyl shop 10 minutes away from where I live. The store is pretty huge and has a seperate area for metal and underground bands.

A lot of people say physical media is dead and yet every time I go there, the store is packed. The great thing about it is directly next to the store is Half Priced Books which carries tons of cds/vinyls for dirt cheap.

What I do is buy a cd, rip it to my computer and sync it to one of my MP3 players. I use the cds as a backup in case they stop making mp3 players or my computer crashes.

Also have a respectable amount of Vinyl which I started collecting right after high-school. Only buy Vinyl for bands I really love. Thing is, I don't have a Vinyl player and only buy the vinyls for the cover art as I display them.

There's something special and tangible about holding an actual album in your hands, looking at the art and reading the liner notes. Something that is lost with a digital only collection.

If there is a catastrophic event that takes the internet down, you will be happy to own your own entertainment in form of CD's and DVD's. I sure as hell will keep mine. If it is digital you don't own it. Your account can be cancelled, you can be banned for whatever reasons you don't foresee now from any platform. The level of control over me, as an individual is just too much. The same goes with money. If you don't hold it, you don't own it. Might sound a bit "dark" or pessimistic, but that is my opinion, so excellent job Michael in supporting this cause. I am with you on this one!

[LivingJC]

I've been collecting cds since the early 80's. I have over 9000. I enjoy them all the time. I don't use spotify etc

[Beardodoomus]

I've been collecting CDs for 30 years now. I have a collection nearing 4000. I'll never give them up. They're still the first format I go to for physical music purchases.

[PlayitagainVHS]

I've been telling people for years that cds will make a huge comeback down the road.Alot of people laugh at me.I don't care, just like vinyl came back, cds will be back! What's old, will become new again.I say, keep buying cds and don't listen to others who laugh at you.Physical media is and still will be., very inportant ! CDs are awesome. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙂

[kickassv]

I’m not sure where you came from, but I’m glad you landed in my feed. I still buy cds, cassette, vinyl, even 8-tracks. I still have my mom’s Radio Shack 8-track player.

People forget how good sounding CDs are.

[lucianoluggren]

Hello, I am a sound technician who records albums for indie bands and I made many CD masters for duplication so that the band can make copies and sell them at their shows and recover the money invested, but that is another topic. Another reason to buy CDs is that if they are old CDs they almost certainly have the original mastering which surely has more dynamics (and is approved by the band/artist) than the remasters from platforms like Spotify which have almost no dynamics and are brighter than what was originally planned at the end of the mixes. Especially if they are CDs from the 80s and much of the 90s.
