I doubt it will ever be the norm for albums not to get physical releases. Not least because there massively useful in the charts compared to streams. It already is the norm for genres like rap and electronic music, not to mention independent labels and artists. If one doesn’t do downloads or streaming and wants to listen to a wide variety of modern music, it will be either challenging or impossible. Plenty of indie music too. Have their been any Negative Tendencies CDs?

I think there is absolutely no point to or purpose of CDs now. I cannot even remember when the last time I actually played one. Every single one I have bought for the past, what, eight or nine years went straight into the drive and ripped to FLAC; the booklet went on the scanner, and then the whole clunky package was placed into the box along with all the others. Which is an incredibly stupid and wasteful thing, really. As soon as Bandcamp became a viable means to buy lossless files, I was more than happy not to have to purchase the stupid plastic disc any longer. I play them all the time. In an era when I spend most of my life stuck in front of a computer screen - it's nice to be able to pull a CD out, turn off my phone and escape into the past. I think people underestimate how much good a break from screens can do one's mental health.

CD Baby has retired their own store front, they're still selling CDs through over online store fronts, it's a streamlining process not a death.

I'm not even old. I just prefer CDs. No crime in that. Eventually I'll have my own personal library to listen to do and you won't be laughing when the internet goes down and the power gridscrumble.

How exactly are you going to listen to Cee Dees when there’s no power? Did you build some Flintstones bird-beak-powered manual player?

LOL is the last resort of those who've been called out on their bullshit. Get a grip.
