The Compact Disc turns 40 this year: How to survive the inevitable CD revival 

I love CDS and will always support the format. Being buying them since 1988.

Still buy them for all my music purchases.

My car is 13 years old, so the party never ended for me. In-dash 6-disk changer ftw.

love cds it no only capture the music, it captures the moments of why they were bought and looking at it just floods one minds with memories

I am 65. I still have and play my huge collection of vinyl records, cassettes and compact discs on my Vector Research stereo I bought in the 80's or early 90's.

I probably spent about $300 since beginning of summer on cds. 5000 plus and counting. I enjoy creating my own sound with upscale electronics speakers etc. Love the hobby.

Thank God I predicted this over a year ago on my channel ;) However, I am so glad way bigger outfits are covering the inevitable!

Switched to CD in 1993... glad I made this choice. A thousand cds and 30 years... and counting.

I still buy my music on CD and rip it to lossless for playback on my 2005 iPod Mini with a 256GB flash mod.

I love this segment. I have 400 music cds, but I haven't had a stand alone player since 2006. 😰

I've never stopped buying 💿.

I still buy CD, and I like 80s issues. Jewel cases are the Achilles Heel of the format!

My big gripe has always been how badly they are looked after by their owners, the inlay booklets in particular… there’s just so many CD’s I have to pass on in used stores, not to mention online stores like eBay

I still buy CDs in 2022

People are throwing away blank dvds, and I’ve been collecting them. In my car I have a DVD player, and a usb player. I like playing my own music instead of paying someone a fee every month.

Oh to be a teenager today with enough money to buy these high quality vinyl LPs! When I was teenager in the 1970s we had to put up with thin wabble-board albums after the oil-crisis in 1974 meant that the record industry decided to reduce the amount of vinyl they used. Of course, years later the same albums you used to be able to pick up in charity shops for 50p suddenly went up to £17.00 when unscrupulous people realised that vinyl was "making a come-back", not to mention everything that was released before 1974 suddenly becoming so 'collectable' that you were expected to fork out £40.00 upwards for LPs with loads of scratches and severely scuffed covers. Yes, these new 180 gram/Audiophile (or whatever) albums definitely have superior (warmer) sound to CDs, but they are bloody expensive, and since I do most of my music listening on my commute to work, my CD collection is here to stay for the foreseeable future; that is until I buy a new car...! =:^(

CDs and DVDs... Good old days 😍

Really enjoyed the video😍,thank you so much for the upload.

Never stopped buy CDs, much prefer to physically own music and movies.

Happy birthday CD even if mid-August 2022 finds many of us less excited about the next 40 years than we were as teens and twenty-somethings back in the day.

Interesting to see this now that Amazon has lost their hat in the digital music game.

It has lossless audio files!

Splendid...Then I'm Quite Glad I'm Still Purchasing CD Albums 40 Years Later...

Congratulations on the 40th Anniversary of the launch of the Compact Disc!! I like CD's and i keep buying them since 1997 when i bought my first Pioneer CD Player. They are durable, reliable, easy to handle, easy to store and gives years of enjoyment. More than everything CD's give very good quality sound. I have a big collection of CD's now. But now the problem is that it is difficult to buy original CD's in our country in Asia, because many dealer shops are closing down business. Sorry about the late comment.

CD's sound decent and clean if the master sound is done right and not blasted to kingdom come

Talk to me about the Colgate and the buffer machine! Does it really repair scratches?

CD Revival? That's great news to my ears!

Are we due for a CD revival? I mean, they used the same technology as we do now. 16bit 44.1kHz sounds the same whatever the source. (without compression)

Even hopelessly badly damaged CDs/DVDs can be brought back to playable condition with the use of a heavy duty "perfect play" machine that polishes away the scratches on the disk surface.These machines were generally aimed at professional users [archives/DVD rental stores etc] rather than domestic CD collectors but they are [if still available?] worth their purchase price.

I wonder and hope compact disc continue to evo. In the Gaming Production World. I believe that the memory or that the data limited by the disc size now. cap at around 10gb. BlueRay Disc maybe more. but the size of the hardware.

Are those Evercade cartridges on the shelf in the background?

I don’t agree this but CD’s are very popular here in Australia because Aussies know that they can play them in their Blu-Ray players and I see them get brought all the time. CD’s are the quarter of the price of a vinyl here in Australia.

Why were comments off on the privacy video ?

“Prime time technology show”. Can we revive that too?

Bought my first cd, 1997

What is the brand name of the transparent CD player @5:51?

cds are fun to collect

I did not know that Sony had dropped CD support with the PlayStation.

CD sounds better than mp3 or streaming

I don't want a CD revival. They're so cheap now that buying an album seems like stealing it comparing to vinyl prices 😂 I can literally buy 3-4 CD-s for a price of a new vinyl record!

Sony dumped cd for now but they know their bread and butter.

I have thousands of CDs full of material which is out of print and not available on any streaming service so I don't really need a revival.

Vinyl and CDs are for the winners streaming and files are for the losers

Even today's PlayStation and Xbox uses CD...

These are a done deal you can get better sound than cd they aren't going any where.

So your claim of a CD revival is based on what, besides trying to make the case for it being the new hipster fad?

I started with CD's, music, not certificates of deposit, in 1984, with an early CD player by Sony for about $400.00 back then, and a lot of money for CD's themselves. By yhe way I have had Minidiscs too, and still have cassettes, records and even some DCC and DAT.

I sell CDs 💿 to this day better sound quality and ownership is important Streaming Is garbage 🗑 and USbS are wackkkkll CDs 💿 fir life

CDs rule!

I'm 24 and I think I only ever bought 2 CDs

I spent all my money on cds as a teenager Could of used that money on a car instead decided to take bus listening to my disc man Not my best decision haha

Why is it inevitable? Vinyl and Cameras are analogue formats. CD to the average viewer offers nothing different to streaming.

If CD's have taught me anything, it's not to waste money buying physical copies of anything when it's also available on download.

I'm happy for them but I pirate everything. Just goes to show you that we're not really needed as far our wallets are concerned for the industry to succeed. they call us thieves but really we help popularize a lot of content.

Let’s keep buying CDs 💿 dvds and blue rays people. Physical media and ownership will always be important. Let all these losers streamers keep renting their cheap music on their cell phones 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤣🤣😅 they will never own music and movies 😅

Cds are overrated. They skip even with anti-skip players.
