This is nothing new as the vinyl resurgence has been around for nearly 10 years...However CD sales have also been on the rise just recently as well, as people are finally starting to realize that sound quality of physical media is far more important over the convenience of streaming services or digital downloads... Also, with physical media there's no fear of artist material being pulled from playlists as there are with streaming services and digital downloads... The biggest advantage of physical media is that it's always yours to own forever, but on the other hand, there is always the possibility of streaming music/digital downloads becoming corrupted or crashing... At any rate, I'll always stick to my CD and Vinyl collections over streaming services, hands down!

My vinyl records are long gone but I still have some of my CDs. I never went 'newer'. I even have many of my tape cassettes that still work fine as well. My wife bought one of those Sony combo portable radios (smaller than a ghetto blaster) decades ago and it works and plays everything well. I'm always using it in the garage when I detail my cars.
Fortunately I still have CD players in my Trans Am and Mustang so i can listen on the road as well. No CD availability for the Challenger though so I have satellite radio.
My remaining CDs reside in two shelves right in the middle of my Mopar section of the garage.
Heck I still have my case of 8-tracks that I use to carry in my original '67 fastback Mustang. I doubt they work, and don't have anything to play them with, but I still have them. I have a few cassettes and 25 of my Vinyls that I bought new in the late 70's and early 80's Some are likely even worth something now.
THE 8 NOBLE TRUTHS OF THE 8-TRACK MIND 0) Understanding one’s fate leads to greater acceptance. 1) State of the art is in the eye of the beholder. 2) Society’s drive is on attaining rather than experiencing. 3) In less than optimum circumstances, creativity becomes all the more important. 4) Progress is too often promises, promises to get you to buy, buy. 5) “New” and “improved” don’t necessarily mean the same thing. 6) “Naïve” is not a dirty word. 7) In seeking perfection has the obvious been overlooked? 8) Innovation alone will not replace beauty.∞
