Do you still listen to music on CD's?

Yes

I still listen on my 8 track.

You can only vote on one answer.

With streaming services available. most people probably do not. However is it still worth having the physical media? Some have been buying vinyl, though at outrageous prices in my opinion.

I still buy music on CDs, and then rip them onto a hard drive. In fact I have been buying used CDs off from eBay and enlarging my collection. One seller offers 100 assorted CDs without cases of a wide variety of musical.genres for under $20. That is less than buying 2 musical releases on digital.

Anyway, any thoughts?

Yes. I listen to music on most formats. Vinyl, shellac, cassette tapes and CD, all of which are in my collection. I also listen online, via a soundbar. As for moving things from one format to another, I do that with shellac and cassette tape for portability purposes.

I have never had eight-track; even in their heyday around fifty years ago, they were only ever a 'thing' for car audio, and it never made sense to buy in a format that could only be played in a car. Eight-track went the way of Betamax.

@supersnipe I do remember they had some portable play3rs too. I didn't like having so long to hear a favorite song again.

@OverTheHill Interesting! Never seen those before. Where I am (UK) I've only seen car players, and very occasionally someone would have a stand-alone player hooked up to their home audio.

@supersnipe Haha, I remember shellac records (they belonged to my parents') AND the Humber Supersnipe! But I only had an Austin Seven.
