CD no more produced?

@n80- 
 of course old punks never die, they are just not as active, and like to wear slippers and smoke a pipe whilst cranking the stereo and spitting on the ceiling......those were the days of misspent yoof.lol......

Appreciate the mention from "brauser"  mentioning secondspin.com. I'll check that out. 

There's also CDBaby.com  Which can be a pretty good source to check out good, new independent music  (which I'm always on the lookout for). It's fun to go in there and root around in the various sub-genres to find the gems. Most of the CDs they offer there have :30 sec sound samples of all the tracks on the CD. 

And, of course Amazon for used CDs.   

I was in the habit at one time of going into the streaming services such as iTunes or Spotify not to stream the music but only to discover new music, and when I came across something I liked, I'd then check the used CDs on Amazon to get the physical CD.   

The upside to CDBaby is they offer an outlet for new, "off the beaten path" musicians.  The downside is that a lot of the material that they offer isn't available anywhere else, so you're looking at paying full retail price for the CD on that site.   

 

Another thank you to "brauser" mentioning secondspin.com. Ordered my first group of CD's from them on Sunday & they were delivered today.

That's the only thing I use streaming for. And its a good resource. I use eBay rather than Amazon though. 

Will look into some of the other CD sources mentioned here as well.
