I truthfully don’t see any physical media coming back to the mainstream tbh
Vinyls are the only one I feel like will stay because it’s just one big album cover with pics and stuff inside
i think it was more gradual for me. when i got an ipod i probably never bought another cd since i didn’t need to use my cd player but i still synced them all up with itunes. after that i just bought s*** on itunes or downloaded it off the internet/limewire. eventually in like 2014 i got spotify and realized cds were done. there was no use for them when you just automatically had every album on your phone
Same I also discovered Spotify in 2014. I had the free tier back then + using the old web player and I couldn’t believe this s*** was legal lol

CD’s will get that nostalgic bump that vinyl has rn. But yeah i cant see it being the primary consumption of music
it has to be when beyonce dropped self titled right? completely changed the game
Never bought a CD ever since!

After WW III when the nuclear EMP fry all the circuit boards we'll break out the hand cranked phonographs again. Real hipster s***.
When my new laptop didn't come with a CD drive I knew it was over
Im not even that old tbh like streaming was already around (not as big as it was now) when I got into the music I like now in high school but I have so many memories of borrowing CDs from the library and burning copies for myself in like 2nd grade but then later on I used to just import them to my iTunes
Thanks for the free copy of Hybrid Theory shoutout to the public library system

OH you just made me remember a few years before that i would use this site/app called grooveshark that was also free where people just uploaded every album. it was totally not legal lol and got shut down. after that and limewire i also thought spotify was another illegal one that would be gone soon lol
CDs are creeping back into the mainstream
nah, they comin back but only for smaller/niche artists tbh

No u know what I paid my debt to Linkin Park I bought Hybrid Theory on CD on Amazon in 6th grade to atone for my diet piracy lol even got the whole band to sign it too when I met them at a show what a cool memory..RIP chester
Nah I was just too young to really know how to pirate cuz this was like Elementary School..I just went to regular old music piracy in middle school after a breif and expensive itunes gift card phase in 7th grade
I am absolutely pro piracy in every way shape or form (which might be unethical) but streaming just made it easier for me to pay than to download 7 albums a month so they got me to stop...genius tbh they literally cracked music piracy after 20 years by making it easier to pay for it
For me, it was the release of Drake’s Views.
The CD version of Views was released in truncated form, for some reason Feel No Ways was the edited version even on explicit versions of the release, and it was an Apple Music exclusive for all streaming services
ipods
whats a CD?
The compact disc (CD) is a digital optical disc data storage format that was co-developed by Philips and Sony to store and play digital audio recordings. It was released in 1982 branded as Digital Audio Compact Disc.
Sorta tangentially related but did anyone else grow up in the weird transition period between DVDs and VHS so you still had to rewind VHS tapes and deal with that s*** but every trailer in the beginning would say "now available on DVD and VHS" it was kinda cool to be in the middle tbh
Sorry if thats too off topic addys are kinda beating my ass td I feel such a need to type s*** lmao
