Simply put - nobody wants/needs CDs. They are too bloody fragile and get damaged real fast. At least that's how I remember them based on my experience with them years ago.
So let's say CD usage is going towards ZERO. Vinyl is more of a fad/hobby/experience/collection thingie? So their sale is going up i.e above ZERO?
- anyfoo 5y agoThey do?! I don't remember that. Damaged CDs that would skip or hang were not super uncommon, but they had to take quite a lot of abuse until problems even became audible. But especially in comparison with vinyl records, which was the context here, CDs seemed almost indestructible. It was one of their selling points: Even visibly fine vinyl records still skip sometimes, while a CD that picked up tons of scratches sitting on someone's desk would still play fine. Not a big surprise given that CDs have their data with lots of redundance below a protective coat, while on a vinyl record the surface is the data...
- mixmastamyk 5y agoNone of my CDs are damaged, well maybe one out of a hundred? I mean, you do have to put them back in the case after listening.
