Do CDs sound better than spotify? I recently purchased a CD of the Alice in Chains self-titled album. I have listened to this album on Spotify an, uhh, unhealthy amount of times and listening to it on CD is like listening to it for the first time again. To my ears, it sounds so much clearer on CD, As if all the mud and grime that was on the spotify version has disappeared. Also …

Will CDs have a renaissance like vinyl has? My guess is no. I’m basing this on the digital aspect of it more so than the need for physical copies of things.

Why The Dying DVD Business Could Be Headed For A Resurrection Like CDs – Netflix and Best Buy said adieu to discs but with streamers deleting titles to cut costs, could DVDs and Blu-rays mimic the revival of vinyl and CDs? submitted by /u/lowell2017

I still don’t understand how records or CDs/DVDs work. This may not be the sub to sumit this in, and if so thats okay, ill post elsewhere, i just dont know where to go with it. The thought came up when I saw a video of a “record player” on Instagram where he laid a record on a table, and then a bluetooth/battery powered VW Bus with a needle on the bottom had to be set on properly and then once he hi…

Copy Protected CDs making a comeback? Anybody remember in the early 2000s when discs would be copy-protected and if you tried to play them on a computer you had to use an included junky player? I found a CD that has this, no joke I put it in my computer and it played in this Flash player music player. The CD was from this year. Heres the Discogs link: https://www.discogs.com/release…
