Writeable CDs should be banned. They won't hold their data for more than 5 years as the dye degrades and the polycarbonate they are made from takes 1000s of years to rot.
My collection is a mixture of French and English songs.
Here you go -Great but how do you play vinyl in your car?
Euh, no.Got any Edith Piaf?
Got any Edith Piaf?
That's the only time I buy CDs now as well. Very occasionally HMV will have something cheaper too. Other than that it's all digital.I sometimes buy cd's from Amazon and rip them onto my NAS because they are sometimes cheaper than buying the MP3 version and you get the MP3 version for free as well when you buy the CD
My ears must be getting bad because MP3 and AAC at high bitrates sounds ok to me. I now just play my music from a computer or tablet via a Bluetooth speaker or headphones and I have no complaints.But MP3s sound sh1t
I don't use my iPod Classic as much now but I'll miss it when it dies. Nothing else will take my whole collection.Still buy CDs (or have them bought for me). Generally can pick them up for buttons on Amazon, it's possible to buy several CD for the price of one download and with some amazon purchases you get 'autorip' you can download the music instantly but they still send the CD anyway.
They all get ripped as soon as they drop through the letterbox anyway.
They're far from dead yet, the car is 5 years old and only has a cd player in it. My own biggest issue is the end of the iPod Classic, with 130Gb of music on it, it's still very much in use when travelling and at work. Nothing else comes close to its capacity without having to break out a pc. (And no, streaming isn't an option for me)
Is this Italian? Am I the only one still on cassettes?All my music in in the cloud, backed up on an external hard drive, in case Google decides to charge for the cloud
