I wonder if CD's will ever experience the rebirth vinyl has? As the years go on there will be less and less of them- they're really more fragile than vinyl, and with even cassette tapes coming back in certain genres, I have to believe at some point in the future someone will appreciate them.
I was ripping some from my collection to a HD last night and stopped to appreciate that my oldest CD is 28 years old. It was the first one I ever bought and I remember saving up for it from my allowance. I didn't even have a CD player at the time, I had to sit in our closed-in garage and use my dad's when I wanted to listen to it.
As I was going through these albums from mostly small-time bands no one remembers, I couldn't help pull out the inserts and marvel over the amount of work that went into the art, and the fact that most albums had lyrics with them- something that is missing and can be annoying with digital downloads, especially with smaller musicians whose lyrics aren't plastered all over the internet.
Lots of people are dumping CD's. I still love them, and I'm holding onto mine.
I'd bet some of you older than me can express some of the same sentiments about the switch from records to cassettes.
