When the Virgin Megastore closed. Since then and Limewire CDs were an afterthought unless I wanted the art and cool text with it

so its technology from 1982 and ur wondering when was this era over...

wtf ur old asf

when I downloaded Napster in third grade

CD era had to end after KTT goons threatened Mike Dean with early copies of Rodeo on CD from Target

I just saw albums I liked drop and for some reason I didn't want to own the CDs anymore.

I also started buying digital games and want to own a digital PS5. Now I'm trying to quit Blurays too.

when the CD version of DAMN was different from digital and barely anybody noticed

Still got one in the mall

For me it was once spotify came about.

I still support Em when he drops though.

FYE is such a garbage store maybe Im too young to have known it being good but the 2 ive been to at my mall and the one at my colleges mall smell like s*** have terrible "merch" clothing and all the vinyl is damaged or beat up

Yeah this is why I couldn’t believe what I was seeing when I first used Spotify

There a lot of things about streaming that I’m not a fan of (contributing to the shortening the average music listener’s attention span, a noticeable increase in output from musicians, for better or for worse, the awful revenue streams for artists) but I’ve discovered so much goat music that I’m not sure I would’ve heard of had it not been for using Spotify / YouTube in tandem

I bought TPAB and then Rodeo on CD I think that was the last one... guess ANTI and Pablo being the next huge releases and being streaming albums basically killed it

I copy pasted this from Wikipedia

Yeah streaming is a complicated beast for sure but like the idea of not being able to listen to whatever song I want to right now freaks me out a bit tbh

I think I have a decent attention span I'm still such an albums guy and I sit through long ass songs and delve deep into my favorite artists and add old mixtapes/songs not on streaming to apple thru local files but I recognize im in the minority and a lot of ppl treat spotify like clicking through youtube videos

Once more life never got a cd release

It was supposed to!

Drake 🤔

Just wish it had a vinyl man if u couldn't tell from the name I really love that album its such a gaping hole in my collection

Not the best Drake album ever but it was just such a fun moment in music and ive never had more fun with the hype cycle waiting for an album than More Life

Yeezus

theres one in the mall near me, sadly their CD section is tiny now. they sell a lot of vinyl tho

Those Cd’s used to be like $35 a pop

And WATTBA. That screwed people collecting Drake's albums.

Yeah but at least that one has a vinyl they gave it SOMETHING

It's weird how cassettes made a comeback.
