Are CDs Really Making a Comeback? The Shocking Truth!
CDs are back… or are they? Everywhere I look, people are talking about the return of CDs, but is it just nostalgia, or is there something deeper driving this trend? After talking to customers, friends, and collectors, I’ve discovered some surprising reasons why people are buying CDs again—one of which is downright scary.
In this video, I share my thoughts on the CD resurgence, from sound quality and the loudness wars to the disturbing trend of autotuning classic albums (yes, even Queen). Plus, we’ll talk about re-recordings, why some people are ditching streaming, and whether CDs are really worth collecting again.
🔹 Topics covered:
The moment I first experienced CDs in the '80s
Why MP3s and streaming almost killed physical media
The impact of compression and why it changed music forever
The shocking truth about autotune in classic album remixes
Why some re-recordings don’t sound quite right
The younger generation’s surprising reason for buying CDs
