I disagree with 5 and 6.

I still buy CDs, because I like to read the lyrics and notes, I enjoy the sound through my ancient but quality music system speakers and although you can scratch it you can’t accidentally delete a CD or have your songs trapped inside a crashed hard drive.

And as for “online storage”...yeah, what could possibly go wrong with uploading your personal files into the hands of others?

CD players are becoming the latest 8-track machine.

Love ‘em or not, but it is old technology.

Yeah, that’s my biggest complaint. I am in the process of transferring all my home movies and photographs onto CD’s/DVD’s. They will last ‘forever’. Instead, they want me to trust the cloud with my family memories? At the same time, if all the DVD players become obsolete, I am screwed.

I still own a lot of cd's and will continue to do so....something about ownership, holding it in your hands, appreciating it....

like reading books....I much prefer to hold and maybe own a good book then go online to read it....

I agree. I'm no Luddite but I don't think I'll ever trust the cloud thing.

If I can buy a used CD for $3.00 instead of paying $1 per song streaming why wouldn’t I buy the used CD and rip it to my computer?
