CDs are still sold online and in stores as well but they are not as popular now as they used to be with many people opting to buy albums and singles online now digitally through places like Amazon Music or Apple Music instead.

Some people will still buy CDs as they may collect them and they want to continue to add to their collection and that is possibly what is still keeping CD sales up.

Do you still buy or collect CDs?
 
I haven't bought any new CDs for a long time. I do still have a collection of CDs that I bought years ago that I ended up keeping on a shelf that I have but I tend to use online services now for access to my music rather than buying CDs like I used to. Spotify and Amazon Music are the ones I used and they seem to have all the songs and albums I want to listen to so no need for me to buy albums like I used to.
 
Even though I stream most of my songs on Spotify, I still purchase CDs once in a while. There are some old songs I still enjoy playing on my CD player. I even have a cassette player. It was my father's and it still plays like a baby.
 
I used to burn a lot of music to CDs after my friend who works in a music studio taught me how to do it. I don't only collect CDs but create my own by choosing selected songs I love and burn them on CDs.
 
When there's Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and the rest for one to use and stream any kind of music online, I don't need to buy CDs anymore. I can't remember the last time I played on CDs.
 
Apart from collecting and burning my own CDs, Vinyl records is another line of music stock I've been collecting for years. I have every Bob Marley songs on Vinyl records. I'm going to start collecting Lucky Dube songs on it too soon.
 
I no longer buy CDs and I equally don't collect them anymore because I don't have any needs for them again.

I am making use of other means which I can easily get access to millions of songs to enjoy without having to go through the process of playing a CD on a player.
 
I can no longer be interested in wasting my money buying music on CDs and DVDs when everything has been made easier by technology. I am making use of two different streaming platforms to play music online and I can easily download any music I want on those platform. I have no need of buying CDs again for playing music.
 
Nope, I no longer buy or keep any of them. Technology have made them so irrelevant today due to how it's easy to have access to any music I want to play online. Good bye CD days. It was fun when it lasted.
 
It is no longer something I am into when it comes to collecting CDs for playing music because since I started streaming on Spotify, I have access to all the music that I want to listen to which finding them CDs is not going to be very easy.
 
Buying CDs for playing music is a complete waste of time because you can have it very easy by streaming on YouTube music or even Spotify or any other streaming application that you are paying for it subscription. There are some application that you can stream your songs free of charge without paying.

As long as I still have a means of being able to play music on CDs, it is something I would always consider doing because it is more like having a way to relieve our old memories which is almost about being forgotten.
 
Buying CDs are not my thing anymore. I don't have the means to play them so there's no need getting them. I can stream any songs I like on Spotify or Boomplay.

I can never see myself wasting money to buy a music CD again. I'm not even sure if I would be able to see the songs I want to listen to on CDs because they are new songs. Take for instance trying to look for Houdini on CD.

You can never waste your money because you are revolving with technology. Houdini isn't an old song and that's a reason you can't find it on CD.

There are some songs that you can't find anymore on CDs because the owners upgraded and start to stream the online.
 
Yes, I do, and it is what I enjoy doing. I am more of old fashioned and collecting dvds is just one of those ways to express that.

Since over the years that you've been collecting music on CDs and DVDs, how big is your library now? How do you manage all of them to make sure they are in a good condition?

😂She might have a van or build a big house for her collection. I think because she loves DVDs, she will have a way to keep them in good condition.
