Stonewall15 Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago Similar to the comeback of LPs several years ago. The convenience of CDs may have overcome the nostalgia of owning LPs. Quote
Daniel A Posted 1 hour ago Report Posted 1 hour ago I think a CD comeback could only come out of nostalgia - because streaming is even more convenient. A couple of years ago there was even a short-lived comeback for VHS tapes (not for jazz, though), but historically, it seems that the most convenient option always wins out. Quote
ghost of miles Posted 51 minutes ago Report Posted 51 minutes ago I don't know about jazz CDs specifically, but the owner of my fave local record store recently told me that he's selling CDs as much if not more than ever. He says he's getting more young customers buying them, partly because they can't afford vinyl if they're looking for physical media. And Numero, which dumped its CD stock years ago, just announced that they are launching a new CD reissue series in response to ongoing customer base demand. I don't think CDs will come back necessarily to the extent that vinyl did, and will remain a niche part of the market, but there do seem to be signs that a small revival is underway. Quote
