Description:
Is there anyone out there who doesn't have a pile of CDs they never listen to sitting forlornly in a corner? How about a CD tower? Are those things still around? It's funny how quickly CDs have become somewhat archaic technology, a sort of '90s stop-gap between records and downloads. Well, like all things newly 'vintage', we love 'em, but man, we gotta get 'em out of the house.
