Do you still buy CDs?

[Chuggachuggatoottoot]

Just wondering what people do generally? I still buy them but that's because I'm a bit rubbish with technology.

I don't personally, no.

I listen to Spotify on my iPad at home, or through speakers and/or the TV.

I've asked for some for Christmas though so that I can play them whilst driving.

I think their future is numbered tbh what with everything being available electronically.

Yes. 3 or 4 a year. Usually work out compilations / Now music.
I've got an iTunes account but it's good to have some solid music in case I can't download it to a future device. Although I've burnt all my iTunes to disc so hopefully I can move them to another device.

Yes, occasionally - well, more likely put them on my Christmas / birthday list

Yes. I don't want my music collection to be at risk of disappearing due to technical failure.

Yes, to listen to while driving

Yes, for listening to in the car. I still buy vinyl for listening at home.

Nope but DP just did buy about 10 for his car, in case he forgets the cable for his phone and the radio is crap (usually is)

Nope

Not cds, but I sometimes buy whole digital albums off Amazon. I suppose that doesn't really count, but most people just buy individual songs. But I'm a huge fan of folk songs and dances, and often a lot of them in one album will be good.

Yes. They feel a bit more permanent. Ds1 spends his pocket money on cds in charity shops. I think he likes the tactile aspect more than the music itself.

Yes. For the car.

Yes, I like to have something for my money.
I would buy vinyl if it wasn't so pricey and also time consuming to make mp3s from it.

Yes. I only get to properly listen to music in the car.

That's why I really like Amazon. Once you buy the digital music it will already be in mp3 format.

Yes, for the car.

Also for the kids, it's often cheaper than a download and gives a backup option.

Absolutely!!!. I like having the hard copy, perusing the artwork, reading the lyrics in the sleeve. I like having the collection. Don't like digital music, or the thought my phone could break or whatever and I'm musicless. Listen to CDs at home and in the car. I'll occasionally use Spotify but sound quality and ads ruin it and I begrudge paying for it

No, haven’t for a very long time

Very rarely.
IF I do I tend to buy cds from small bands at small gigs to support them but then I tend to put it in a mp3 or iPod. I usually leave the CD at home or at work and listen to the band via SoundCloud, bandcamp, YouTube or Spotify!

Occasionally buy from charity shops for the car. Never new though

Yes and I love them but I’m literally the only person I know that does.

I did up until about 6 months ago. I only really listen to music in the car and my new one has bluetooth.

Yes, I do. I make compilations myself and put them on disc too. For the car, for the CD player, for gifts. My children love cds.
Is Spotify something you have to pay for?
I usually listen to music on my phone but would prefer it on a stereo as better sound and volume. Maybe I need one of those docking things or a Bluetooth speaker...

No, I got rid of all mine - I have a Spotify subscription and a Sonos system at home, and in the car I either use a memory stick with 4gb of music on it or listen to music from my phone via Bluetooth. All so much easier than finding and changing CDs, especially when driving!

Yes if it’s a special edition/signed etc but they still don’t seem to make it out the case lol

Yes.

Both new and secondhand.

I regularly play them and rip them for my mp3 player too.
