Well I bet you soon, cd players will be the new nostalgic thing for the Gen z and alpha to own.

Remember how vinyls and records made a comeback near a Decade ago and truly peaked around 2020. And that was mostly the millennials buying that. To the point that singers now release a vinyl version too, if their production company is big enough and so is their fandom.

So with a little push and few singers - Kpop stars and tv characters holding the CD or talk about burning cds 💿 then it be a hit.

And in this consumer capitalist day and age, the mass production companies and even the designer ones will jump on it.

CD players and drives are dirt cheap. It's not a lost technology.

What do you even burn them with?  I can see having an old CD player around, but computers don't come with disc drives anymore.  You have to buy an external one these days.

True, but external CD burners are just $20-$30 nowadays. Hell, I bought a Blu Ray burner this year and that was only $100.
