described by Jack White. The original appeal of the CD was being able to use it in all listening situations, from home audio, car, portable (Discman), without having to record on cassette my vinyl records for portable use. I'd be pleased to return to vinyl as my go to, both with my original collection and new purchases going forward.
I built up a nice Best Buy Rewards balance for the express reason of buying CDs versus saving my Amazon gift card balance for the variety of items sold there, only to have Best Buy discontinue even on-line sale of CDs. Perhaps I'll jump back in with the vinyl they do sell.
