Yeah and you should stop listening to Lady Gaga cause she is responsible for the CD’s and omg I once received a bag of goodies when I saw her at Joanne World Tour and the merchandise contained plastic.. unstan that evironment killing bitch!!!! for real - the problem is plastic that is used once : coffeecups, packaging of foods, bags etc. These are things u buy over and over. Something you buy once you buy once. 100.000 CDs sold once is different than the billion plastic cups used per day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the sound quality difference is really not noticable unless you're really focusing, and the fact you need space to store physical copies is arguably a downside. Personally I can't comprehend how the pros could possibly outweigh the cons here, but each to their own 31 minutes ago, LeJudas said: What if the power goes out when Michael finally finds the apocalypse for dummies handbook Well you can't play a record player without power either, so we'd all be screwed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
