Do you still play CD's or are you strictly in the digital age now?

I was tidying up before roomie's return, in the kitchen I have a radio that also plays CD's. This was purchased many moons ago..and the radio doesn't really work well since..I am in the boonies..surrounded by trees, but I do use the CD player. I played a CD for the first time..in 8 months maybe.I usually do digital. I do have a fairly large CD collection.though.and don't plan to get rid of them. What about you? CD's or digital?

@snowy22315 I have CDs in the car which are never used. WE got Sirius radio so that's usually what plays in the car

Same here. It seems more practical and convenient to just feed the cd into the player than shuffle songs in my gadget. I subscribed to Spotify primarily for my husband and kids. I still play my CDs in the car or listen to the radio.

Yes, if you have a player in your car it is a reason to use them.

Yes, I now only see CDs in cars. I remember, my bf and I and his friend played their old time fave CDs to reminisce, and it was a year ago. Haha!

I have a cd player that I bought a few years ago. It's one of those small ones that you hang on the wall. It hasn't really been used in years though I do have a CD collection dating back atleast a decade. I haven't bought new music (cd's that is) in that long. I even had cassette's at one time but of course I got rid of them years ago.

@snowy22315 Just a little bit, yeah. I remember my days of walking around outside with my walkman and thinking how cool I was. I think cd's came around when I was in my preteens so then I'd have my cd player and thought I was all that and a bag of chips. Now with this digital age you carry your phone, wallet, watch and entertainment in a square device. Oh no to mention your pedometer, GPS and anything else I am missing that a phone can do.

@NJChicaa I like Spotify..Pandora is OK, but the way they used to have it was that they would only play similar songs to what you requested. I haven't used it for years though.

I haven't played CDs in a while, but we still have a player and we still have tons of Cds and DVDs it is quite tiring to play CDs now though, when you can just look up what you want and press play

I know someone who has a huge collection of 45 records. I am not sure he still plays them though. He is basically a collector at this point, and sells some from time to time.

I like them because they don't take up alot of space, Someone I used to know had a huge collection..I would say at least 1,000 or more.

Nowadays I use Spotify to listen music. It is amazing for me. Last time I was listening an album on Spotify when I looked at my CD rank and I saw exactly the same CD I was listening to. I remebered how happy I was when I could buy the CD abroad as they didn't sell it in my country. I had to smile how the world changed.
