CDs are basedI can rip them to my PC and listen on whatever device I wantNo gay subscription to have the best qualityNever gets taken down from a serviceDon't need to listen to terrible loudness war remastersFuck zoomers and fuck streaming
>>127607337Based
>>127607337>Don't need to listen to terrible loudness war remastersDon't zoomers know that the height of brickwalling was the CD era?
if you use Spotify or Apple Music or w/e, don’t you get to choose what version of an album you listen to?
>>127607577If you use soulseek and rutracker, you do
>>127607337>I hate convenience, and fuck zoomers for killing CDs in the mid-2000s
>>127607337CDs are pretty good among the major physical formats, but they're still quite limited. If the world weren't a gay-ass lowest common denominator torment matrix, we could be two generations past CDs by now. Imagine multi-channel or even omnidirectional digitized music you can skip, shuffle, scrobble, reverse, or selectively adjust the volume of as you please, defined under an open and standard. Like digital format, Blu-ray audio, Dolby Atmos, and the Stem Player rolled into one.WE COULD HAVE SO MUCH BETTER YET WE ARE PLAGUED BY GREEDY GAY RETARDS
>>127607705>convenience is being a mindless goycattle that doesn't own anything
There's no way these are the best shills money can hire
>>127607811>how do you do, fellow groypers
>>127607811No that's capitalism.
The amount of money that gets wasted on impotent consent manufacturing must be heart stopping
>>127607964Not owning anything is literally communism
>>127608237Accumulation of private property into the hands of the few is [reddit voice] literally [/reddit voice] capitalism
>>127608487What does that have to do with owning CDs you commie reddit retard?
buying a CD is no different to buying a service you fucking spastics. neither are communism because communism doesn’t have money.
>>127608237Once again, that's capitalism.
>>127608697I don't have the slightest clue who they think this is going to convince
>>127608699*tips fedora*
>>127607337You wanna know what else is based?Unlimited access to high quality music that can be easily downloaded, copied and redistributed. CD's are nothing but nostolgia bait due to being an "aesthetic" like vinyl. It is you who doesn't place value on modern technology. Just like how nobody cared about cds and vinyls back when people used them.stupid fucking nostalgia blinded niggers
>>127608743NO!!!!!! IT'S NOT BASED!!!!!! IM BLEEDING SHEKELS
>>127608743>Just like how nobody cared about cds and vinyls back when people used them.What the hell are you about you retarded autist
>>127607599This is literally a hate crime.
>>127607718The biggest shortcoming of the CD standard was not supporting text labels for the Album / Track names which would have been trivial to add to the format. Instead we got stuck with id3 labels.
>>127608885you can contain anything on an id3 label thoare you talking about the old ones with limited space?
>least mentally retarded /mu/ discussion
>>127607337>Don't need to listen to terrible loudness war remastersBruh the Loudness Wars were born on CD, this includes plenty of remasters.
>>127609502the point is when youre buying a disc or downloading a rip you can pick which version you want. if your streaming service is serving up a brickwall, tough shit
>>127607577I used to have Spotify Premium and these days I have YouTube Premium which comes with a YT Music subscription. Based on my experience, yes there are plenty of albums with that have multiple different versions available on these platforms. But there are also cases where there is only a single version of an album to be available when multiple versions exist. I'm sure there are dozens of internal factors that lead to these decisions.
>>127609547The problem with your point is that there are plenty of albums out there that only exist with a brickwalled master. This includes albums that first came out in the '90s.
>>127609547>you can pick which version you wantto an extent, depends how much you’re willing to shill out because copies containing the original mixes and masters are often sought after. for example original / early CD pressings of rust in peace are worth way more than the newer pressings with the blown out remasters
>>127609664>dozensId say it probably comes down to licensing/money on one hand and knowing that the vast majority of consoomers wont understand or care about the difference on th eother>>127609720just because it doesn’t apply in every single case does nothing to invalidate the point. there are far, far more albums available in multiple versions of varying quality than there are albums only available in a single bad version.>>127609741yes well personally, despite having a sizeable collection of physical media, Im also a remorseless and committed music pirate. these days I only buy physical direct from artists or small labels, and then only if I really like something and want a physical copy. Im usually just as happy with the flacs.
>>127607337>Don't need to listen to terrible loudness war remastersbut CDs were the cause of this initiallyand the biggest sufferers of this curse have yet to be remixed (sabbath's 13 and metallica's death magnetic)
>>127608639I'm not the other fag you're arguing with, just correcting your retarded statement. You're the one who veered off-topic ITT
>>127607337you are right. those who disagree are wrongbump
>>127607357Height of brickwalling was 2000-2010. Napster had already fucked the CD market and bounced by that point. Everyone was just pirating whatever they wanted from slsk, torrents, and rapidshare/mediafire links from blogs and forum share threads.
>>127607337>apple music>amazon musictheres nothing I hate more than paying tech kikes for a license to listen to the albums I bought fair and square.bandcamp is our last hope. sure, we can all just steal music if we need to, but if I'm going to support an artist, I want to own what I bought.
>>127607337>Don't need to listen to terrible loudness war remastersThis is the main reason CDs are still relevant. Streaming services only offer remastered versions of older albums and never let you choose which release you want to hear.
I don't really like the trend of re-releasing albums as multi-CD boxsets to milk consumers
you're absolutely retarded if you aren't buying CDs right now. The vinyl revival might have been a gen x/millennial phenomenon but it's zoomers who make up the majority of the market now, and they're just startng to do the same with CDs. You can still find sealed/mint copies of albums from local record stores for $1-2 these days. That same CD would have retailed for $18 at the height of the format and zoomers are currently paying $30 for that same album on vinyl (or $40+ if it was a CD-era album that now needs to be pressed as a double LP to fit the format, zoomies are too young to know any better). With CDs making a comeback, it only makes sense that gen z will be flocking to it soon. They fucking love physical media and 90s nostalgia
>>127610173she didn't say that
>>127612041
>>127611115You can just google things to see if they're actually true before saying them. 2000 was the apex of CD sales, 2005 being almost exactly the same sales volume as 1995. Plenty of brickwalled discs from 2000-2005
As someone who still owns a flip phone and relies on CDs for music while driving, I couldn't agree more.
>>127607337If I had to own physical media, I would choose CDs over all the other options. Vinyls are just so expensive and take up so much space. You can take a CD with you where ever you go. I still remember when cars used to have CD readers in them, and you could just pop in your favorite album and listen to it while driving. Everything these days relies on Bluetooth and streaming, and you just can't own your music anymore.
