I'm in my 30s and I was born in the right generation. CDs used to be cool and futuristic, and they're still a convenient way to handle music in a world where all software sucks and sending a file from one "personal" computer to another requires advanced networking knowledge
Records and tapes don't hit the nostalgia button for me
- nineteen999 2y agoThe things I don't like about CD ... the jewelled cases always coming apart at the hinges, the hinge pieces snapping off and you're left with two loose halves .. I mean cheap enough to keep a bunch of spares around I suppose, but it happens way too much. Also when they do get scratched, they skip in a really awful "digital sounding" way, unlike vinyl which can be either a mild hiccup or bump, to downright comically burping their way to the end of the track or side. But you're right they were very ergonomic compared to what came before them, there's no doubt like DVD that came a little later they were a complete game changer.
