Stop buying physical music I know there are some people amongst you that still buy physical music like CDs. Please stop. The environmental cost involved in MAKING them and then TRANSPORTING them to your store and then to your house, in the internet age is simply ridiculous. We've all put fiber optic cable under the ground and cellphone towers in the sky for a reason. Let's Use it/them. Thank you. | |

People tend to keep records/tapes/CDs. But every day they throw out tons of plastic/paper food packaging, water/soda bottles & cans, junk mail, boxes, worn out sneakers, hazmat, car tires, newspapers/magazines, old cell phones, etc. Restaurants & stores throw away perfectly good food everyday too. Using a computer is not good for the environment either, yet you're on the internet. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

There's also the case that not everybody has a computer or internet, because they can't afford it (or they're not interested in it). Look at all the kids who couldn't do online classes when they shut down the schools for Covid. A lot of older people don't know how to use a computer. Some rural & mountain areas don't even have internet or cell phone service. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

That argument is invalid. MikeyDolenz said it, people don't use a CD once then throw it away like packaging for water, or juice, or milk. The most is the shrink wrap, and probably are even probably keeping part of that with the hype sticker. If you have a problem with me, text me. If you don't have my number, you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me. | |

And vinyl's any better? I've got about 1200 CD's and what I love most about them is that I can read the booklets, see the awesome pix, who produced and played on the tracks, etc...I didn't grow up with the internet, so it's all beyond me. No one ever taught me anything about it cuz I'm an older cat who just doesn't "get" it. I'm lucky at work if I can even figure out how to gain entry into my employee file! I'm not very tech-saavy at ALL. I can shop on Amazon, pay some bills, read stuff, but when it comes down 2 all that digital fare, I'm lost. When I pop open a fresh CD, it's the same thrill as when I was younger of slicin' open a brand new album! It gives me a rush! Much luv! I promise if I ever get rid of any of my CD's, I'll recycle 'em or find someone who WILL! <3 Hungry? Just look in the mirror and get fed up. | |

Any album you listen to more than about 30 times it apparently makes more sense buy it physically than stream it: [Edited 7/26/21 7:42am] | |

Wow! You've totally convinced me with that rant. I sure am looking at the man in the mirror now.
Do you have a hashtag to accompany your splendidly lucid and reasoned argument? * [Edited 7/26/21 7:45am] | |

Like that's going to happen. Most of the music I own is a physical copy and I have no intentions of changing that. | |

Also, what happens when you'r enot near internet and can't stream? What happens when a streaming service starts charging more per month or year than you may spend on music?
If you have a problem with me, text me. If you don't have my number, you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me. | |

Get the intention but the plastic problem is not my problem. Sick of being told that it is. | |

Is that supposed to be good for the environment? You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

This is in 10 billionth place on the list of important environmental issues, so it is hard to take it seriously. For me, buying music at this point in time is mostly to help the artist since they get so little from streaming unless they have massive hits. Yes, you can download it but I do think that many people want the advantages of the CD over downloads/streaming. If everyone stopped buying CDs and making CD players, eventually you would have lots of CDs headed for the landfills decades from now. At least now, people can sell or give away their used CDs if they no longer will use them. | |

Vinyl has been dead in India for about 40 years. | |

If it’s something I really enjoy and love, I want a hard copy that I can have forever- whether it’s music on CD, a movie on Blu-ray, or a book... That way I’m not subjected to the whims of whoever holds the rights to the work who can pull it anytime they want #SOCIETYDEFINESU | |

You mean those kids who buy game discs for Playstation & Xbox. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Sorry. But I don't give a flying fuck. The only way I buy music is phsyical. Anything else you don't really own. | |

LOL and that coming from someone in India, the world leader in avoiding waste... or more like a world leader in producing waste and disposing of it in the worst way. There are way other things to take care of first before you clamp down on CDs. | |
