CDs, vinyl, digital: How do you listen to your music?


Vinyl is making a comeback and CDs never even left. Even cassettes have not lost their appeal. Photo: 123rf.com

If I may quote a cliche ... the death of the music compact disc has been greatly exaggerated.

The CD’s golden era in terms of sales may be long gone, and yes, a handful of hi-fi manufacturers have abandoned it altogether in favour of network streamers and digital media players, while computer-based audio systems (CAS) have increasingly eaten into the market. The choices out there for the digital punter of today are amazing, and at a wide range of prices.
