CDs are a nearly-perfect format and it's sad to see them decline. Mainstream digital music stores don't even offer CD quality, and streaming services are antithetical to preservation and allow content to disappear overnight.
- stjohnswarts 7y agoMwhat are you talking about, almost all are released as flacs these days. Superior to CD and tend to have better dynamic range as well.
- TazeTSchnitzel 7y agoI said “mainstream”
- phicoh 7y agoThe thing that got me to stop buying CDs for the most part is how badly they are mastered. In past it was some labels that put out badly mastered CDs, these days artists that once produced excellent albums now seems to accept a final result that tries to win the loudness war.
- TazeTSchnitzel 7y agoYes, unfortunately mastering is an issue. It's the only reason that new “superior to CD” formats ever sound better (aside from perhaps extra surround channels), and entirely not the fault of the format.
