Physical Media will reign victorious. If you lose a CD, it's one disk, maybe 10 or 15 songs. But if you lose your iphone 12 nike flyair Jordan edition you lose your phone, pda, 1000+ songs, and more angrily, a parenting crutch because "oh let's not parent like normal people let's just throw little timmy in front of the phone for a few hours so he will shut up"

>>17742538
But my girl has a brand new car. It looks like a Jaguar, it's got leather seats and a CD player.
I don't think it's really happening opie

>>17742553
a device holding like 1000+ songs > 70+ CDs with 15 songs on them each

Honestly the era of no cassette anymore, CD standard but no aux or bluetooth yet is by far the worst for music transmission. Not a single adapter, you have to burn every album onto a disc one by one.

I'm very paranoid about holding a lot of Data on these things because fuck if you drop it and it falls between the crack of something or you accidentally break it. i wish i could store music on Blu Rays and have my car read those.

Blu Ray disc are pretty damn durable and a lot harder to lose.

Why would you ever want a CD player in your radio?

>>17742814
>Wow you just lost $5.

A 512GB card is easily $100 or above right now.

Also, implying you had a library of files that large, you also just lost hours of watching progress bars on Windows as you copied all your files to the card.

My car doesn't have a CD player and it sucks. I just want to listen to my damn CDs that I bought.
Now I know how those old farts with the tapes felt

If you lose your iphone it doesnt matter because your purchases are registered to your apple id account you can just redownload whatever you lose. Physical media is ovjectivly worse. You also have backups saved in icloud

I shouldn't have to go through all that effort.
Plus it's part of my system of listening to music. If the radio's playing shit and my phone is shuffling stuff that I don't feel like listening too, I just hit CD and listen to whatever CD I'm more into at the time

ITT people who personally identify with outdated, inferior technology argue that it is objectively better.

Just give me a USB port, an AUX port, and a volume/tuning knob. I disabled FM radio on my car in like 2009 and haven't used a CD in years.

Except you still need to buy another $1000 phone to replace it, while CDs are literally cents

>>17743300
No high end phone costs $1,000. And if you're spending $700+ on a phone anyways, you'd be an idiot if you didn't have insurance on it to replace it if it ever got lost or stolen.

any responsible person with an iphone that they bought themselves most likely hooked it up with another apple device anyways, so they can find it 90% of the time. a CD is gone forever.

Just buy an old CD player from Goodwill or some shit. God damn.

And? You can buy an aftermarket radio with whatever setup you want for less than $100. Buy one with a CD player.

This triggers the normies that ride with me

No Volvos don't have one unless you get the up level sound system. It also takes up half of the arm rest storage up.

I have millions of songs in my pocket immediately accessible (with internet), as well as being able to save the ones I like most for offline playback. All I have to do is sign in on any device. Never lost a phone before and never will.

You didn't get the reference.

I don't want a navigation system.
I don't want a backup camera.
I don't want a touch screen.
I don't want an infotainment system.
I don't want heated seats, steering wheels, or side mirrors.
I don't want a CD player.

Save me $8k and get rid of all of that shit.

The only, ONLY way I'd be willing to give up my CD's was if the deck played flac or DSD files.

If it can't, fuck that noise. Like, literally, fuck that actual compression and noise. I'll keep my far superior sound quality, thankyouverymuch.

>inb4 lol mp3 and cd sounds the same

If your stereo is so shit you can't tell an mp3 from a CD, your opinion is invalid because it has all the fidelity of a clock radio and needs serious work.

>>17746302
>Your opinion is invalid, because you are not autistic like I am.

>>17742586
yea so they can track you at all times and rape your wallet every month for a connection.

>>17745768
The fact that infotainment is a real industry term and not a fucking joke term made up to make fun of technology is fucking painful to realize.
Saying something has infotainment is like calling your kid a tween, or combining couples names like branjolina.

This guy is correct. Also, quit using flatscreen NOOB monitors. Only true quality can be seen on CRTs and whatever else bullshit justifications people use to use for not ditching CRTs.

Well, since you went there, a CRT does in fact have a better picture than an LCD when looking at motion. Plus it has actual blacks. If you've never seen a HD CRT, you don't know what you're missing.

The reason people went to flat screens is because of size and weight. Making a CRT bigger than 35" is just plain impractical.
