I was really looking forward to buying a brand new CD to play on my car on Friday - went in my nearest Tesco Extra - they don't stock them anymore ?

Whaaaat?????

This happened a few years ago. If, like me, you only have a CD player in your car then your options are to go to FOPP/HMV if you're in a big city, or to get them from Amazon (which has the advantage that you'll probably be able to chose a cheap second hand option).

Thanks - yes I'm not an Amazon shopper but I'll try HMV

What with streaming, phones, Spotify etc it probably isn't cost effective for to stock them anymore.

I can't remember the last time I bought or listened to a CD.

I still have a few knocking about. I think I have Metallica, The Carpenters, Elton John and Prodigy. You can have them if you want 😁

I went to see him in concert ❤️

It's the same as DVDs. Nobody really buys them anymore because of all the streaming.

Although saying that, last year parts of Canada had a real issue with the Internet. It was so bad, no cash machines worked. Internet based programmes, I.e TV streaming, you tube wouldnt work.
Some were saying they were so pleased they had kept their old DVDs, otherwise they'd have to watch normal TV or read a book. 😁

Charity shops are full of them. I recently bought a newer car and it doesn't even have a CD player ha
