Who of you still buys physical copies of records?

idssdi · Jan 25, 2020

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

Good choice! I love that record a lot!

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 buy CDs on occasion, really depends how into the band I am. My oldest daughter doesn't buy CDs, she prefers Vinyl.

I've bought a few CD's but it isn't my main way of listening to music. I would buy Vinyl if I had a record player though!

David Deatherage · Jan 25, 2020

Yes!!! I started buying records since they started making them and bringing them back in style!! Last couple ones I bought was Atreyu and Alkaline Trio!

I purchased a cheap $25 one from JC Penny that looks like a briefcase also has Bluetooth!!

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

I like physical CDs in the car. It has been more than a couple of years since I was in the habit of listening to the radio.

Radio =

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?

I only buy a7x cds and the only reason is just to have them. I prefer streaming as well cause it's easier.

carlosmqr · Jan 26, 2020

Last one I bought was The Stage vinyl, but I normally will use spotify if im driving (I dont have a CD player in the car just bluetooth or AUX) or at work.

Lindsey · Jan 26, 2020

I still prefer to buy CD's but haven't gotten anything recently, and don't really listen to them anymore. I still want to update my collection though

Edward John · Jan 26, 2020

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.

Cedric L · Jan 26, 2020

I've been using Spotify since 4 months. Before that I bought a lot of CDs. Nevertheless I will continue to buy CDs. But only from my favourite bands.
I don't know why. It's like a trophy or something. You can hold it in your hands and I don't know... I like that
