Talia: People still buying vinyl like it's 2001. The numbers are a bit misleading – is the actual listening experience improving or just nostalgia kicking in?
Rayanlarsen: finally a decent revival of physical media, though that graphic looks like it was made by a toddler
Nina: love to see this trend - there's something so special about holding the music/soundtrack in your hands, but also being able to trade it or resell if you want
Diegonilsson: CD sales are up 58% huh? Guess there's still value in collecting the liner art. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for experiencing art as it should be
Diazisla: this resurgence is cool but i'm waiting for the prices to come down some still, way too expensive
Cipher Lynx: it's amazing how a tiny resurgence can feel like the end of an era. always loved digging through cd racks at thrift stores for hidden gems
