Why buy a CD today?

Reasons?

1) the audio quality. for me it is already a sufficient reason.

2) if an artist I appreciate gets a financial return (which certainly won't hurt their continued pursuit of Art) also thanks to my modest contribution with the purchase of one of their CDs . . . I am soberly proud.

to support an artist or a record label, because the audio quality is better, because the booklet is beautiful or has unfindable content, because you need to give it as a gift, because that thing is only available on CD and not on YouTube...

I will add that, personally, I am a cursed CD fetishist (and book fetishist too): I have a couple thousand classical music CDs, I have bought no more than 10 euros worth of music on iTunes (and generally they were things I "needed" in the lowest sense of the term), I use YouTube a lot like everyone else naturally, but if something interests me, I buy it. I like the object; I am sick, but I don't want to be cured!

my boyfriend is a CD and vinyl fetishist.

I am not, to tell the truth...
