What Are You Listening To Right Now?

I had finished a video on YouTube from 2018 about the impending death of music CDs as a distribution format. A few things in it resonated with me, most notably that the number of discs sold in 2018 was approximately equal to the number sold in 1986, when the format was new. He also noted that major manufacturers like Sony don't even make personal portable CD players anymore. And he noted that even for folks that still collect CDs, the format is generally one that gets played once in a computer drive while the audio is extracted, and then the disc is put into storage.

 

So that encouraged me to grab one of my old portables (a Panasonic unit I bought new in 1999), load it up with some fresh batteries, connect a good set of headphones, and load in the Fleetwood Mac Greatest Hits CD that I bought way back in 1988 when it was released. It still sounds as good as the day I bought it.
