Who here continues to regularly use a CD player?


I do have a CD player, however, at this point, I rarely use it. I mostly listen to vinyl and stream.

Do you still regularly use your CD spinner?

I'd say I stream about 75% of the time followed by CDs, vinyl and cassettes. I love the convenience of streaming but I also still love having physical media. I have quite a few autographed CDs and vinyl that can go for $$ if I sold it on the market.

I like having all of it or at least, having the options of what to play depending on my mood.

still have a good collection of cd so why not.  Some cds I have were not available on qobuz.

My serious listening is via CD. FM is enjoyable for my for casual listening and to sample new music. 

Use a Jay's Audio Transport to a PS Audio StellarGold DAC through a Concentus I2S cable. 

When I moved from NYC to Philadelphia, I made the painful decision to not drag a lifetime of carefully collected records and do away with the time-consuming pre-rituals associated with record listening on my Linn LP-12. So far, I have resisted renting the right to listen to music via streaming. I prefer to own the right to listen to the music. I do not rent my audio system, so why would I rent the music it is dependent upon?

75% Vinyl - 25% CD. Have 2 CD players that are sonically contrasting but both are "long in the tooth". Hopefully in 2026 a replacement will combine the strengths of both players that will bring my play ratio closer to 50/50.
