For those that still buy CD's (I did until I went all in on Spotify) we are living in a golden age of cheap CD abundance. Think about going into Tower Records near the 7-11 on the Ave un the U District to buy a Led Zeppelin CD in circa 1995ish...you'd be paying $16.99 or about $27.00 in 2016 dollars. Now you can buy that same CD new for like $12.99 and find is used easily for $5 or $6. If I wasn't such a vinyl junkie I would be buying the shit out of all the used CD's in Seattle and have like 5000 in my collection.

Ummm. Why?
Lowest cost way to get audiophile level sound. Way cheaper than vinyl or higher res (than CD) digital files. Streaming MP3s just doesn't sound very good into a decent stereo set up.

As an actual duck with tinnitus, the effective range of my hearing blows, so I think mp3s sound great

Smarter dudes than me wrote those algorithms and knew most folks would still find the sound fine. Alas I'm cursed with my hearing being still pretty good and being a hi fi geek to boot.

Pure vinyl now.
Still have 175 compact discs or so and maybe 30 songs on Google Play. I had ITunes years ago.
If There's a really good song and an artist like Prince vigilantly locks it out of YouTube, I'll pay the $1.36, but the music videyas are fun.
