Used music CD's

[Irving]

You can't cancel music, and no one will ever ask you to prove you own it. If something about a streaming service changes, it doesn't matter. The music didn't cease to exist, it's just elsewhere. There are no scenarios where your access to music would be cut off, that wouldn't also be combined with something else so important that the music part would even matter. All those arguments are worse than any for getting mags pinned.

As with the mags thread though, it's your money, time, and space, not mine; so I wish you the best on your journey.

Yeah but if there's zombies and an EMP, all that digital music will be gone! You'll have nothing, but at least we can play frisbee with the CDs!

Random note: Phones are pretty resistant to major EMP. Too small to get inductive shorting.

CD-Players are not that resistant to major EMP at all, in part because they're always physically hooked into a laptop or PC. Ones plugged into vehicles may fare better.
CDs actually have less pragmatic longevity than their high-quality data versions.... for several reasons. As long as computers exist, the data has far better longevity than the optical disk. And if computers cease to exist, you've got nothing more than shiny Frisbees anyway. So people shouldn't hold onto them like they're an artistic seed vault or something.

Now I've seen the error of my ways and can get rid of my CD collection.

ETA: Nah. I'm still not convinced.

I like to hear all those human growth hormone and divorce lawyer commercials loud and clear.

I'll keep the CDs and DVDs but I'll but them in binders and lose the jewel cases.

Shut down free digital sharing, so yes someone asked them to prove they owned it. Which they didn't.
