Music connoisseurs and record store owners are seeing an increase in interest for CDs.
FORT WORTH, Texas — In the age of streaming music, vinyl records continue to make a comeback among collectors. And in 2021, CDs made a bit of a comeback of their own., all major music formats saw sales growth last year, with digital download being the only exception, as the U.S. recorded-music business made a near-record $15 billion. Vinyl, unsurprisingly, saw a 15th straight year of growth with $1 billion in sales.
Mecke said since taking over the Fort Worth record store, he’s seen some customers turning their attention to the compact discs. They now sell for as low as $2-$4 in his used section. He said he and many of his staff still use the discs themselves, though they’re not their first choice. Reynolds, Mecke and their fellow music connoisseurs in the store all unanimously agreed that vinyl was their preference for listening to music. Reynolds pointed out how the crash of the cymbals and the ring of the guitar strings linger through the analogue medium, giving it a sound that more and more are revisiting.
