When was the last time you went to a store and purchased a CD? If you are like the majority of people, it has been a while. In the digital age we live in, we are all about getting our music from purchase and download websites in the form of MP3 files. With all sorts of portable music players, even on our smartphones, MP3s have become the norm in terms of music purchases. So why are some stores still selling and some people buying CDs? Here are some reasons to explain why this behavior still exists, even in this digital age.
People naturally gravitate toward what they are used to. For example, when students go into a classroom with unassigned seating, they tend to sit in about the same place every time.
Many people still have components, most commonly in their cars that are not compatible with MP3 players. Many cars on the road still have CD players, and thus the owners need CDs to play their music.
the back of the CD. This spiral is one continuous track. The spiral is extremely small, and when you see the rings on the back of your CD, know that you are not seeing the track. The track that is visible on the back of the CD is not the smallest track. You would need to look at the CD with a stronger lens to be able to see the smallest track on the back of the CD. When a CD is created, there is code that divides the tracks from one another. This way, you can skip to different tracks on the CD. Many people do not realize that all of the different tracks are embedded on one single track.
A nice MP3 player isn't cheap. Especially if you want one that has a lot of storage so you can put all your music on it. This creates a barrier to entry for most people. Although it might seem like a better value over time, the price difference between a CD and digitally downloaded albums is such that you would need to buy a lot of music to make up the difference.
One of the most important reasons that people still purchase CDs is because music is a hobby and passion. They are building something special; a collection of memories and art. In the past, many people had this same passion for collection vinyl records and cassette tapes. To them it is more about the fun of collecting than anything else.
Having something physical to collect is much more fulfilling and fun than just a file folder on a computer. This goes for the actual musicians and groups as well. It is great for them to be able to give away actual CDs rather than a QR code that people can scan. Though technology has evolved, there is something timeless about CDs.
When you look at the music industry and services that are out there, you might think that CDs are dead. CD duplication services are disappearing, and digital downloads are gaining popularity. CD replication may not be quite an industry, but discs aren't quite a niche market yet. They're still very popular, and it could end up that the two formats can coexist side-by-side.
