A friend of mine occasionally gets a bit of gentle ribbing because of his love of physical media. I dug my CDs out of storage recently and have been playing them and I think he might be on to something though. Looks like I may not be the only one. 3 Trends that prove CDs are making a comeback.
📺 Time to settle in and have a quiet Friday night watching Foundation and the season finale of Star Trek SNW. 🖖🏻
