CDs are making a comeback—and that doesn’t surprise me whatsoever.
If you want to build a music collection, CDs are probably the best format to start with.
They sound excellent if mixed properly. The artwork is generally good. But most importantly, both disc and players are super cheap.
I’m a big fan of vinyl and tape. They have their place. But if I were starting my music collection from scratch, I’d start with CDs.
