CD enthusiasts are people who…like the quality of a digital format but want to still…collect things? Dislike convenience? I’m not sure.

CDs provide quality but little else. They’re fussy, they require a physical collection, they’re easily damaged, they skip, etc. etc.

The funny thing here is that vinyls have everything you’re complaining about CDs, but worse.

I can see CDs going the vinyl route in terms of enthusiasm in a couple of decades.
