    I collect cds myself and spend quite a bunch of money on them. Recently I bought a bunch of gypsy jazz records(Django, Robin Nolan and 2 compilations) and I ordered the last Waltz by The Band today. How about you guys?
    I definetly do. It's Just Something different listening to a CD in the Car than to your Playlist on the Phone. Last record bought was Where the light is 😜

    I still buy CD's from time to time. Especially if it's one of my favorite bands coming out with a new album, I have to buy it then.

    And once I have more money, I'd love to get into vinyl and start collecting some old, rare stuff from the 80's and 90's. Mainly thrash, death and black metal, because a lot of that stuff has really high value because of the limited pressings and whatnot.

    I have the signed stage vinyl. And 1 of 100 hail to the king Canadian box sets. The vinyl I have is of pretty decent value. I have a lot of cds too.. including 2 wsrmness of the soul eps.. I'd definitely be down to selling one of them.. if I can actually find both at the same thing the one may have been misplaced.

    I still do buy cds just not as often because I’m running out of room. I have a thin ikea CD shelf with about 10 rows and there all full, I also buy vinyls sometimes, usually from flea markets because I love getting the original old ones. I bought an original blizzard of ozz vinyl in great condition for $25! Also my dad has a ton of old vinyl from when he was younger so I consider them mine too, I hope to eventually get my hands on some Beatles vinyls, I’ve been a huge fan of them since I was 8

    Apple Music all the way. The last CD I bought was probably The Stage, and it's likely to stay that way forever. Even if I bought the CD, I prefer to stream it. At home, in the car, wherever. The Stage CD sits in the CD player in the car in case I have no connectivity or my phone is broken (I have a charger in the console). I have Sirius XM in the car too, but I find most stations, especially the hard music stations, seem horribly compressed and full of artifacts. I don't get enjoyment there very often.

    I hate when bands decide to premiere their new tracks on those radio stations and the only way to listen to it is through a shitty bitrate rip someone made from their radio. Why the hell would you do that? 🙄

    Not a fan of any of the streaming services. I don't really buy music unless it's the major bands I'm into, their is so much music that it's next to impossible to keep up. But If I do buy music then it's definitely CD's, never really been a big fan of the whole vinyl thing.
