Younger people of Lemmy. Would you buy a CD at a concert? (lemmy.world)

I'm 40, and when I was a teenager, EVERY band had CDs. And I know a lot of music has shifted to digital. So much so that I heard Best buy stopped selling CDs. Presumably because nobody buys them.

So I wonder what musicians sell besides t-shirts and posters at concerts. Do the kids have ANY CDs? Do they buy mp3's? Do they just use pandora and spotify? Do they even own their own music?

I've given up on trying to understand the lingo. Other generations lingo sounds stupid to me, but still understandable based on context.

I have NO idea what a skibifibi toilet is....sounds like a toilet after some taco bell and untalented jazz, but maybe I can try to understand their thought process on media consumption.

Omg come to my house! I have a computer dvd-drive and a 4k drive for ripping. I have 3 gaming consoles with disc drives. And I have 9 portable CD players and 3 portable DVD players.

I am a collector. I have a hobby of making my own CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays.

That does sound fun. How far from Berlin are you, in rough terms? Can I walk over, or is it more of a cycling distance?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'm about 6000km from Berlin I'm afraid.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah, that's a bit of a hike, probably would throw my plans for the week.

New York?

What 4K drive do you have, and how do you like it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

It's an Archgon Md-8107-U3. I got specifically because the firmware could be updated to allow ripping with programs like Make-MKV. Works great.

I'll bring the pizza and some two liters! Who wants what?
