I find it cute that none of us listen music CD's or use physical media, but we still draw characters using physical media to get the point across. And I like it, it's more visual and entertaining. Bring on the characters using cameras instead of phones!
Also VERY relatable, especially since I play DBD

Maybe not CDs, but vinyl is having quite a renaissance lately. Ditto for Blu-Rays, although nowhere near to the same extent.

Vinyl is actually on plateau or even trending downwards while CDs are starting to trend up.

You’re partly right; looks like both vinyl and CD sales are down YOY: https://www.headphonesty.com/2024/10/vinyl-sales-fall-compared-last-year/
That article singles out cost of living as the likely culprit and I’m prone to believing that; although I think some of the labels are getting a tad too greedy with some vinyl releases also (I think Taylor Swift has been called out as particularly egregious?).
I’ve never been much of an audiophile, growing up with cassette tapes, minidiscs and 128kbps MP3s - they all seemed perfectly fine. Video on the other hand, I constantly notice between quality Blu-Ray, overly compressed rips and streaming.

Speak for yourself. I only stream audio while driving, and YT is my only streaming video. Otherwise I'm physical media all the way.
