If you spend a lot of time sitting next to a CD player they’re still OK for now. For music on the move, not so much. And when the player breaks it will be hard to replace. So they’re definitely not perfect.
Even if you’re at home and do have a CD player it’s just not practical. Sure, if you only listen to a handful of CDs that’s workable.
But my current music collection would require 1400+ CDs … and good luck finding a specific song in that pile, even if you do know the exact album it’s on. So much easier to just have a searchable library.
You can still keep the CDs around for archive purposes, but to me CDs are no longer a viable option for actual media playback.
