dantheriver Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Plenty of people still buy CDs or smaller labels wouldn't bother having them manufactured. Not everyone is hip to collecting the vinyIz or completely converted to digital (i.e. their car stereos don't support iPods/whatever).

MikePortly Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 So it sounds like a lot of people here are hearing from or seeing that their local Hot Topic's aren't selling vinyl anymore. When did this start happening, and are they truly going to just stop selling it in stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold a coworker my old turntable because he'd come in every week talking about all the CDs he bought so I was like "Bruh..." He's had it for a couple of days and he's already sworn off CDs.

Fowty Dollaz Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 He's had it for a couple of days and he's already sworn off CDs. I love how this statement leads me to feel CDs are the equivalent of meth. "I swear! I'll never buy these again!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 For those who have sworn off CD's. Do you buy digital or "find it" online? For me I see that the cost of CD's are usually the same as digital. I buy it. Rip it. And resell it and my digital copy is now about half the price.

throughbeingcruel Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I'll occasionally buy CDs, mostly used from Half Price Books. I either use a download that comes with my record or pirate it. If it's a smaller band who isn't doing vinyl I grab a cd, but it's rare.And this. Most of the time, the smaller openers at shows only have CDs if anything so I'll grab those to help the band if I like 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasHawk Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 My best buy still has plenty of CDs target also. Plenty of people still buy CDs or smaller labels wouldn't bother having them manufactured. Not everyone is hip to collecting the vinyIz or completely converted to digital (i.e. their car stereos don't support iPods/whatever). Stores still have them obviously. I also still see people rooting through the $5 dvd bin at walmart, but it's definitely not the norm anymore. My local Best Buy has the music section shoved way off to the side. I actually had to look for it. It used to be front and center when you walked in the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallowken78 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 For those who have sworn off CD's. Do you buy digital or "find it" online? For me I see that the cost of CD's are usually the same as digital. I buy it. Rip it. And resell it and my digital copy is now about half the price. I base it purely off cost. If it's cheaper to download than buy the cd I'll go that route. I figured there probably isn't much of a market for re-selling cds at this point but perhaps I need to reconsider this based off your comment. There's also the whole hassle involved to consider too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I bought the Megadeth Dystopia CD from Target to get the free vinyl. I brought the CD home, opened it to get the free code then threw it up on EBay. If I remember right, the LP ended up costing me a little less than $2. Before that the last CD I bought was easily 10 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Bateman Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Well my store is done with vinyl or that's the vibe I'm getting. There was 3 or so. Used to have tons. Shame. I mean sure 95% of the stuff that was their was pretty shitty but it was nice to see the stuff there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
