As a family we have spent the last few days holed up with Covid. Queue my 14 year old daughter taking an interest in the boxes of CD's that we had forgotten about.
We had a great time rediscovering the CDs and got me thinking about the format. I have to be honest I have been swept along by streaming services. I have a turntable, amp and decent speakers too. I find this bit of a faff, and dont really bother with the few vinyl albums that I have. What I don't have anymore is an actual CD player. My daughter used a DVD player to play the albums. I'm quite nostalgic about CD's, having really got into music in the early 1990s.
I know it is a sensitive subject to discuss which format is better than another - curious, if the CD is still a popular format? I'm now thinking of either picking up a separate unit and connecting to my amp - plenty of cheap second hand units out in the wild. Or, looking at more of hi-fi system including a DAB facility which is very popular in this house.
