Nothing like buying a #CD of one of my favourite bands to then open it and see them making silly goose ass faces at you. Spotify wouldnevah.

Ciao Mondo.
Ho compiuto un gesto controcorrente: ho comprato dei #cd.
Odio i servizi a pagamento in cui neanche più il dispositivo sembra più essere tuo.
Riappropriamoci della musica!

Today I drove an hour to my favorite record/media store and traded in some LPs and a PS2 slim with games. Came home with 23 CDs and 2 Blu-rays. I'm currently ripping the CDs to FLAC and cataloging them on Discogs. I don't know why this all makes me happy, but it does.
Did anyone have a CD audio player back in the day that featured CD+G video output?
I got my first CD player in 1985, a Pioneer PD-5010 which had CD+G output, but I never had the cable and didn't have the tech sense to search for it beyond just the local Circuit City.
I never saw the visuals.

Of all the various CD variations (Blu spec CD ,XRCD,HDCD, SACD etc) this one clearly passed me by... LPCD.
Some quite analogue thinking going on with this one. #CompactDisc #HiFi ##CD #LPCD http://www.yanglining.com/lpcd_mastering.html
On March 8, 1979, Philips unveiled the optical digital audio disc, otherwise known as a compact disc. #compactdisc #nostalgia #history #tech #techhistory
Ostin äsken cd-soittimen kierrätyskeskuksesta.Parikymppinen myyjä ei tienny mikä se oli. Tuli vanha olo. Mutta ihan hyvällä tavalla. #cd-levy #fyysinenmedia #compactdisc
My head is super asplody tonight so it’s time to lie down in a darkened room with #TheOrb’s ‘U.F.Orb’ (1992) - Deluxe Edition (2007).
If your local coffee shop had a rack of music CDs labeled "Need a disc, take a disc; have a disc, leave a disc" would you make use of it?
(Boosts for reach greatly appreciated)

I did all my chores -- and another a blog post!
#NowPlaying This album is perfection. I bought the French CD pressing in 1986. It includes two bonus tracks. #CompactDisc #CD
Album: The Last Starfighter (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Artist: Craig Safan
Released: 2015
A cult classic film with a brilliant score, this CD version has more tracks not included with the original LP. A fine example of Craig Safan’s work - arguably his finest.
CDs are making a comeback thanks to Gen Z

In the UK, compact discs continue to be a more popular choice than vinyl, and the decline of CDs has slowed in the past year. I predict the CD revival to occur within five years.
“CD sales dropped 6.9% to 10.8m units (the lowest annual rate of decline since 2015).” - https://superdeluxeedition.com/comment/cds-continue-to-outsell-vinyl-in-the-uk/
