Who still buys CDs? I don’t think I’ve bought one in at least 12 years. I don’t even own anything that can play a CD, DVD, etc.

I'll venture a guess that most people in developed countries have a DVD player or gaming console that can play dvds and CDs. I even have a CD player in my car and I still make mix CDs to listen to going down the road. CDs may be less common than DVDs but they are still all over the place.

None of our vehicles have one. Our oldest car is a 14 and even it doesn’t have a CD player. Its not an option in cars anymore. I rent cars almost weekly and I couldn’t tell you the last time I saw one in a vehicle. They are either LCD touch screen with Bluetooth or just a norma radio with Bluetooth or aux.

Outside of vinyl I haven’t bought physical media regardless of movie or music in many many years.

I'm saying a lot of people still do, not that you still do. The internet is still not good enough for rural America to rely on digital media. Otherwise I would consume media like you do.

Next year if someone gives me a fancy CD set, I’ll make sure I question why they didn’t opt for snooty vinyl (which I ran out of breath arguing FOR in 1988 when a vinyl copy of Physicla Graffiti wasn’t available anywhere).

And then I’ll make a fancy display altar near my turntable and look at it while it plays. Drool.

You snooty bastards. Snooty I say.

The conversations I had with the kid at Tower Records and I couldn’t convince one person that vinyl sounded superior, digital notched frequencies and caused unnecessary compression, etc, and I lost that argument.

It’s all come full circle.

Digital's notched frequencies are only a problem if you have the frequency range of a dog.

If you're a normal human, you're probably somewhere in the range of 20Hz-16KHz, and Nyquist doesn't matter.
