Have your say: Do you still play your old CDs?

With the rise of digital music, streaming services, and smart devices, traditional forms of music like CDs have become somewhat obsolete. Yet, CDs were a significant part of many people’s lives, especially those who grew up in the ‘90s and early 2000s. For some, these discs are not just objects but mementos that evoke nostalgia, memories, and emotions. With that said, do you still play yours?

No, that’s more of an old-fashioned approach. Nowadays, I prefer using USB drives or connecting via Bluetooth to play music.

No, I don’t listen to my old CDs anymore. I keep them for sentimental reasons. I no longer own a CD player since technology allows us to download everything from the internet and listen on our phones or computers. However, I genuinely miss the emotional connection I had with the CD era.
