First of all, the popularity of computers
Why were there so many CDs before? Because there was no computer at that time, even if there was a computer, there was no internet, so surfing the internet was particularly inconvenient. At that time, we even listened to songs on tape, and then listened to songs through live TV and various programs. I still remember that the same song was popular all over the country. Although most of them are the same song, they feel very fresh every time, and even recorded the lyrics in this book. Later, vcd became popular. Many vcd discs were sold with audio and video images, and Xiaobai bought some. I remember that the first album Xiaobai bought was from Sun Nan, because he was very interested in the theme song of his teenager Bao Qingtian at that time. He thought his songs at that time were particularly good, and then he bought Yu Quan and Beyond. In fact, Xiaobai likes music and listens to songs, but he doesn't like buying CDs very much, because to be honest, even pirated ones want a 20 yuan 10 yuan, which is really embarrassing for me, who is not rich. But now that computers are popular, all music can be listened to online, and high definition and high sound quality make genuine CDs seem worthless. So from this perspective, the genuine album cd has no meaning.
Second, there are various schools and styles.
Now it can be said that the old and the new alternate quickly. At that time, I remember a singer who became popular and could go from the 1980s to a new era. But nowadays, some singers have only been popular for a few years, and some are simply online singers. They spread all over the world with a song, and there is no complete album at all. So even if they want to buy genuine CDs, they haven't even released them, which is meaningless.
Now is the information age. Even though some companies' copyrights have been protected online, they are not allowed to download or charge a download fee. However, as an era with the theme of the Internet, it is too simple to get us programmers for this little problem. Moreover, most people listen to songs from one source, and there are many channels. Some of them are not free, but some software is free and the software is paid, so there must be users uploading it online, so this is also a fact.
Therefore, it is meaningless to buy a genuine album CD now, but for some people who regard it as a collection, perhaps its significance is particularly profound.
