rubberdinghy Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 And be collectible in 20 years? Is this something else I should stock up on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybone Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I don't think so- not any more then tapes.Lousy art work and they were not exactly rare.I still have a soft spot in my heart for tapes. Somewhere at my parents house are a few boxes full of tapes that would be a pretty interesting view in to my personal musical journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartamophone Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I laughed when I was home last Christmas and my sister said she thought it was cool that I "still use CDs". But no, I don't think they'll be like records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Volume of production alone is a huge knock against CDs becoming collectibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Is there even a nostalgic element tied to placing a cd on a cd tray or popping it into a slot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boiler Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 There's some pretty sweet hifi gear out there that make CD's sound pretty damn awesome. Audiophile, expensive shit. There will be a market for CD's in that crowd for sure for a long time. You don't invest a couple grand into something you're just going to "give up on." BTW, I once heard that playstation 1's were/are much sought after by the audiophile crowd for the "better than most" sound quality.Personally, I love it when I buy a record and get the free cd inside to listen to in the car. The Truckers do it all the time. I've got the cd with Wilco and WSP and a few others too. You almost always get a free digital download with most new albums.I'd say....to sum up.... keep the cd's that are originals, chuck the burnts unless they're great live shows, hard to find. KEEP ALL YOUR DEAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I love popping in 5 CDs only to have Stapes plug in his Iphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 In 30 years, some may feel a tinge of nostalgia when placing a CD in the tray.Hard to say though - nostalgia isn't what it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ike Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I don't think conventional cd's will become collectible unless it's autographed like bouche said. I do however think that super audio cd's, due to their limited availability will become collectible.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Audio_CD"Despite the global decline in Compact Disc sales, sales of Super Audio CDs and players increased in 2010."

Jaimoe Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Are books and libraries in the physical form going the way of music stores and CDs? I hope not, but I can see books going the way of vinyl. Downloading, legal or otherwise, along with ebooks have had a big impact on libraries and in sales at book stores.

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 There'll always be books that don't get converted to digital, arguably. But yeah, bookstores are going to continue to take a hit I'd be surprised if they disappeared entirely though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) I agree Dave. I can see bookstores going more the way they are now, as in, more of the used variety. DVDs are still going strong in Canada moreso than the US as the industry has been reinventing itself in innovative and successful ways such as ultra cheap rental kiosks located in downtown cores and malls. I can't see the same sort of innovation happening with the publishing industry. Edited November 25, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 re: Playstation CD quality......the output sound is distorted *ever so slightly* and is pleasing to many people. As far as it being 'better', if you're looking for clean high quality representation, look elsewhere. Chances are, most everyone that would read this post would like it - though if you're used to listening to music with audiophile gear then adding a PS1 might not fit with the design motif of your stand...which may be important to you (not me)If you want your music to sound 'louder' then step to it..and if you don't have a CD component then I say go for it! As far as vinyl being 'collectible' as its draw I must say that's truly disappointing to think about it like that, when a vinyl record begins a direct representation of the voltage signal through the equipment rather than an encoded data set. Much like how a piece of cellulose photographic film is a moment in time recorded for posterity, the vinyl record is certainly real. You can play one with a pin on a cup and a turntable top. Can't do that with a CD.+1 on the superCD. Those things are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
