There's no way the record labels will agree with Targets terms. From what I've seen online, people are mad at these companies for dropping CDs. People should be mad at the music industry for being such shit in terms of distribution for the past 15 years. RIP CDs. At least we'll have records and it looks like cassette tapes are making a comeback in the underground scene for some dumb fucking reason.

Last time I went to Best Buy, the CD section was only about 10 feet anyway and was only New Releases and Best Sellers.

CDs are basically archaic at this point anyway. If you're on the go, you want digital. If you're at home, digital or vinyl.

Yup there's really no reason for the industry to hang on to the CD format. The only time I'd buy a CD was at a show and usually only if I was able to get it signed anyways.

Take a blank CD and just burn a disc. Just convert the iTunes file to mp3 and burn to disc as a music disc

It was in my old car and I'm a nostalgic bastard.

I also have the key to my first car on my keychain. I haven't had that car since 2011

But burned CDs don't sound as good as those that are machine pressed and sold in stores.

If you burn the tracks in Wave or FLAC formats they do.

This. MP3 is trash but loseless compression is good.
