Saying CDs will deteriorate on a shelf faster than a record that actually gets played, while technically possible in a very specific case, is so improbable that it isn’t improbable it’s just a lie. You said it, it’s not true, that makes you a liar. As for why you would make up some shit like that, I have no idea. Don’t you think it’s pretty fucking weird to lie in such a public place about shit that is so easily disproven and doesn’t impress anyone anyway? It implies you are so used to compulsive lying that you no longer even expect people to believe you.
We all know the story about bad Maiden CDs, I think kids learn it from their uncles now at Thanksgiving. It’s cliche as hell to bring it up, and at this point useless since the entire catalog has been remastered again since then anyway…and you’re still playing that same copy of Number of the Beast every day for 35 years now and it sounds perfect because you know how to set up a tone arm. What an insane and pathetic line of bullshit.
What a moronic thing to be seen lying about…
CDs do rot, in super small percentages, but not yours. You destroyed yours by leaving them in your car, you fucking retard. Leaving ANY media in a car will destroy it. That’s not what “rot” even is. Rot is when it dies without some idiot melting it or anything, it happens, but it’s so statically rare in US and JP pressings as to be meaningless. Euro fans…not so much, but still a super small number rot. (If you think CDs rot fast in a car, don’t have dogs or children please).
I don’t know what your point in this thread is. You hate CD, we believe you, now what? If you want people to buy more records you’re talking to the wrong guy as my collection of vinyl is already huge and I add to it every few days usually. Records are easily my favorite thing to collect which is why I have started adding to the thread for it. This is simply a thread for another format. Why is that so unthinkable to you?
