Ten years may have passed since my last purchase of an Audio Compact Disc! My physical library of disc had been controlled at a lean 60 pcs in this MP3 era. With thousands, in soft copies.
MP3 music comes free, no bondage of any kind in monetary terms or shortage woes. Keeping the tracks you love and discarding the rest into the bin.It was also thanks to MP3, making it possible reaching out to the wide range of world music; buying them all would be costly, thus restricting us only to our familiar few.
Even Audio Sound System these days supported the playing of MP3 conveniently.
This year however, i start appreciating the clear digital recordings in CDs that play beautifully on Hi-fi System instead of MP3 from the PC audio. Setting aside everything, sitting back and letting the music entertain... filling the room.
Sembawang Music bankruptcy raised the alarm; shopping around, i really don't find many CDs shops these days.
Our pick after toiling in SMC last stores in Thomson, Raffles and Plaza Singapura.Recalling my first visit with Ric to Sembawang Music shop in the old Sembawang Shopping Centre, about 15 yrs ago... when my date was trying to impress with his music passion ;)
Hopefully, we might still be able to go shopping for CDs in a 'brick & mortar' shop when we are 50.
