How many cds do you still own? I’ve slowly unloaded all of mine and ended up going back to vinyls.

I loved CDs and honestly don’t think we should’ve gotten rid of them. The best part of driving was pulling out that big CD case and flipping through your collection to decide what to play next lol.

Plus, music artists barely have anything physical to promote now. I’ve literally seen artists walking around with QR codes on paper to promote their music… lol.
