I think the best example is the PlayStation 2 being discontinued in 2013, as well the PlayStation 1 in 2006

Audio CDs are still around. While they're surely not the medium people listen music from, they will most likely be on the merch table at the next concert you go to.

I'm a CD collector, they're definitely underrated

One of the only things I've encountered in life that provides greater joy than sex is the feeling of finding an awesome super underground CD in a $1 garbage bin at the local record shop.

Favorite findings:

Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt, Sad Tropics
Sunswimmer, New Madrid
New Moon Daughter, Cassandra Wilson

Do people really think audio CDs aren't around anymore? I bought several audio CDs in the last few years, I prefer to have local copies of music I like rather than depending on a streaming service.

Who thought they weren't around?

On that note, vinyls have overtaken CDs in sales again

The fact that high end music streaming platforms are only just now starting to offer super high bitrate lossless "CD Quality" audio as an option, gives you an indication of how good CDs actually are as a physical medium.

A cheap old CD player connected via SPDIF to a modern mid-range DAC with decent speakers will give you better quality audio than the latest Sonos system streaming from Spotify.
