I think it's just a much smaller market that consumes music this way now. By far the majority of the people I know have switched to streaming services like Spotify. I use the Apple Music streaming service, I used to adore my huge iPod, but I notice I don't need it any longer, between unlimited data and cloud based streaming of my collection.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

ND, did you hang on to any of your iPods? Are they in suspended animation anywhere?

Also, for all that I work in tech, I don't want to keep my music in the cloud. Noooooo! I must have my precious on a back-up drive, and in an iPod!

I have several shelves with CDs.

I have lidded storable tubs of CDs, because I needed the shelf space for books. Plus once I transferred the CDs to the iPod, I didn't need them immediately available.

I have all my CDs still stored, I also have all the files backed up and hard drives. I just don't need it also on an iPod. For my listening on the go my collection is all available through the iTunes Match system.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have a classic iPod I don't even use. It's my only Apple device. I can't even get it to play music through my car speakers. Seems like it will only play music that I bought through iTunes and most of my music on it is ripped from CDs

A just have a big folder for music on my NAS. MP3 for digitally purchased music and flac for ripped music. Every so often I make a new mix for the USB stick in the car. I listen to podcasts and audiobooks much more than I listen to music though.
