Personally, I find this sad. It is the end of an era. CD … Rest In Peace. I may be one of the few that still prefers to have the CD (I know I’m a rare person). To be honest I rip most of the CDs to m4a and put them on my phone to listen to in the car or at work but I still prefer to actually have the CD. My daughter doesn’t want any CDs at all … she Spotifies everything, I’m certain younger people are consuming music different … I understand how it goes. I still think it is sad.

Can’t say I’m surprised about Best Buy. Their music section has been shrinking for years. It was only a matter of time.

I still love the cd’s reading the booklets having the physical music. I would think cd’s will be around for a while but as noticed in some new cars the don’t even have the cd players any more..

Reminds me of snail mail trades,i miss when we used to set up DVD trees.

I got my copy of ADKOT 6 years ago from Best Buy.

I hope they offer discs on their website.

me too,it was really fun to wait for the dvds in the mail,it was like presents at Christmas

Dropped into a Best Buy today (to buy a replacement mouse), and checked out the CD section. Just a couple of racks over along a wall, highly picked over, and everything 25% off. They did have a 1984 and Diver Down still on the shelf. Looks like they are phasing out DVDs and BluRays as well based on their placement along the same wall.

2018 = the year physical media died?

Streaming is taking over.

I don’t stream and I don’t buy cds. I just listen to all the same music I’ve been listening to since college… Never gets old!

End of Owning Music is Here

Time to go back to records!

They have always had a great DVD selection. Kind of surprised they are phasing out Blu-Rays.
Oh well, there is Walmart.
