  I haven’t touched a music CD since Sony decided it would be fun to put rootkits on them.

  Bandcamp usually has the artists I’m interested in though, thankfully.

  As one of seemingly very few people that still buys CDs, they have become extremely difficult to find. Personally, I have to drive 90+ miles to the nearest store that sells them and pay a 25% markup when I get there, or order them off Amazon, in which case they always arrive with a broken case. I’m not counting Walmart because they only sell kpop and NOW cds. Target only sells kpop and Taylor Swift.

    I typically buy mp3s off of Amazon (shameful, but convenient) and a CD is always suggested.

    Otoh. I don’t buy anything that’s very exotic.
