    Little reason to buy CDs anymore.

    I am all for people listening to records. I just wish the people I know who do would actually hook up a good pair of speakers to their player.

    Yes, a good pair of speakers, a good turn table and a good amp with good phone stage.

    I think CDs are still a great fit for people who want hi fi sound but w/o fucking around with vinyl which has become terribly expensive and still remains a bit of a pain. For about $5k you can build one great sounding CD based stereo rig which will blow the doors off what most people are listening to records on these days.

    I buy both. The fun of hunting old used vinyls is still enjoyable. Buying cds from some of my favorite artists when they come out and loading it into my truck ASAP is still fun to me as well.

    The death of CD players in new cars pisses me off. That's the one thing I hate about my car.

    Likely younger than you and prefer higher quality sound. Data files suck balls, as do apps that you pay for with no ownership to show for it.

    Neato. I’m sure the sound system in your Corrolla kicks ass.

    No, my new Camaro SS stereo actually kinda sucks. Which is why I'm replacing the speakers and putting in a sub and amp. Hopefully also adding a cd changer. Most new car stereos are pretty bad, but you wouldn't know that.
