He didn't really say much about Spotify, and anyone who is nostalgic for the CD format needs professional help.
I don't really care about the death of CDs as a thing, but I suppose I sometimes miss browsing the record shop. It's a time wasting activity that has its appeal. I will be sad when books die. They are very dear to my heart, so I guess I can't criticize CD lovers. Although there are some key differences in the two.
There are two good record shops in easy walking distance to my house, so I guess I don't feel the pain of a lack of record store. They only sell vinyl, if you want to buy CD's I'm sure the Mexican grocery stores in the area could scratch your itch. the record stores in my neighborhood are pretty good, and one of em serves beer and wine.

I'm starting to see more and more record shops starting to carry "vintage cd's" and people are collecting. Most are continuing their collections from when CD's were the dominant format -having never lived during that time. But I imagine soon, there will be CD collectors that hold no personal nostalgia for that format. They'll collect it as an artifact, to have something tangible. I wonder if someday bands will issue limited run CD's?
