fresh stack of CDs just arrived from japan yes, the CD format is still thriving. a huge catalog of music is available and new releases continue to be issued alongside digital and vinyl. most vinyl pressed after the mid 1980s is music that was recorded digitally. so besides the trademark distortions of the format like surface noise and wow/flutter, there aren’t many “analog” characteristics to modern vinyl pressings. the CD format enjoys significant popularity in audiophile/hi-fi communities because it’s often much cheaper (and easier) to attain a high level of performance via CD playback vs. digital sources like streaming.

I still buy CDs when I’m here because licensing drama with Apple and Spotify means a lot of music doesn’t make it to US streaming services or even to buy! So I rip MP3s still in 2024!

haha that’s true, I hadn’t even thought of that use case for buying CDs. I admire your dedication.
