It's worthy of facepalming, because the answer is so obvious that it doesn't even need questioning: People want to own physical copies of the music they listen to.

The article has the underlying tone (very smug one at that) that with the advent of digital downloads and streaming, CDs are irrelevant. But however advanced technology becomes, for some people physical copies will always be more valuable.
 
Well, yes and no. People want to own physical copies....but how is the CD media doing in general? Personally I'm buying all of my physical stuff on vinyl mostly...CD's are a dying market as far as I'm concerned :D

That also has an obvious answer, vinyls are way more expensive.

The smug tone of the article is what makes it irritating. Like being old-fashioned is somehow being closeminded or stubborn.

Maybe eventually Cd's will have a renaissance like vinyls have....Cassette tapes are still way off though...
 
I've thrown away a lot of my old CD's...I keep the good ones in boxes. I hate to display CD's, they don't look good either....Vinyls on the other hand :p
 
As someone born in 1975, I sure remember the good old days of cassettes as well. The joy of having tapes get eaten and losing that amazing song you were so lucky to finally catch and record off the radio. When I was in my pre-teens, that was pretty much all I had besides a few great albums my dad had on vinyl including Screaming For Vengeance and All The World's A Stage and a couple of AC/DC albums. The ultimate was when I was 12 and my uncle gave me a copy of Somewhere In Time. All it took was one listen. I would have tried to seek out more, but my dad was against me listening to that stuff for some reason even though he listened to hard rock and metal in the 70's. I guess he thought it would corrupt me. :lol: A couple years later, I was listening to 7th Son and my dad caught me and smashed the tape on the floor. After about a year, he finally accepted my musical tastes since my me and my best friend would have that stuff going all the time and he saw it wasn't damaging in the least. And now my dad loves bands like In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, and As I Lay Dying. Wow, I think this is one of the longest posts I've made in here. Great memories for sure.
