CDs, who uses them?

This question has been asked by a lot of people recently, so I'll put it out there! 

I was having a think, and I can't remember the last time I actually used a CD for something other than to put the music on my phone. Everywhere I go, I have an auxiliary cable or headphones, so what's really the point in having that disc anymore?

There's certainly an argument for having a collection, it's nice to have the artwork and a hard-copy product from an artist. I have many CDs, even if they are no longer used much. 

I guess this is one of the reasons vinyl records are coming back in. They have that vintage feel, with incredible artwork, and it's a 'blast from the past' if you get a record player to go with it (or dig the old one out from your attic!). Additionally, for any up-and-coming bands out there, being able to hand out a CD with a few of your tracks on it does wonders for the public eye. It's great PR and it saves the effort of having to download anything later on. 

It's fair to say CDs and Vinyls have their place in today's world, but that's not in the player or on the turntable. The sound quality of recordings has improved 10-fold since vinyl, and the hard-copy products are museum pieces. There are many people I know that have record collections, and seeing them in full glory is pretty incredible! When I ask them how often they listen to the records, they give the usual line of "Why would you listen to it? It decreases the value...", and that's expected. 

So tell me, how many CDs do you have? And how many vinyls? How many have you sold just to free up space? I know I've got rid of a fair few! 

Until the next post, Adios!
