For you audiophiles, is there any advantage to CDs when most phones have enough storage space for lossless audio?

I’m guessing the breakdown might be the bitrate Bluetooth can support but most cars now have usb-c/thundebolt

I work super close to both targets so it wasn’t much work

CD’s to me have always sounded better than any streaming service even if it’s lossless. Insano sounds way better in CD so far

But they do have it. It’s just put out on shelves. Only Taylor and Ariana mostly. Not even Kali

Target barely sold rap albums even when CDs were viable on the market

Need to ask a target employee if they’re told to only put Taylor albums on the shelf or something

Nah target was always stacked with rap CD’s here in Cali

Physicals don’t drop until a little bit later now a days for a lot of artists. You can find Insano vinyl at your local record stores though, saw it when I went to one near me on Saturday.

Lmaoo real

Damm the only time I can remember shopping for CDs there they only had a few copies of 808s & Heartbreaks

Mine was stacked with Graduation and Curtis back in 07

not 100% sure if they do it w/ CDs, but yes companies can and do pay supermarkets to display their DVDs/Games at prime locations in the store, you ever been in the grocery section and seen a whole display of non grocery stuff? they probably bought that spot.

If there were no other CDs the store could prob be getting ready to end CD sales all together and Republic could've bought whatever shelf space was left.

Nigga said looking for an insano physical

No way

What is op doing lmao

I see no quality reason to prefer a CD to lossless files

that car is hard

Not that i can think of. Vinyl offers no improvement either but people like that too. I think its just nice to gave something tangible - if my phone streaming stops working in the car for whatever reason I have a few cds in there i can use.

Honestly theres hardly a difference between 320kbps and lossless unless youre a child who can still hear high frequencies. Unless youre going to resample it, stretch it/play it at a lower speed/pitch

And in a target/walmart no less LMAO

Idk but whenever I go I line up all of the Tyler the Creator albums in chronological order in front of everything else.

Its like the mega conglomerate everything stores that dont do music only put up the music that sells the most with the average person

Wow

Go to Best Buy or Bookmans

Or guitar center or a local record store

Or amazon online

Lol
