Don’t bin the CDs,
Your local charity shop will take them

Well it ain’t me buying them 
I’ve even kind of given up on charity shops. A lot no longer carry CDs, and those that do don’t seem to have anything that would interest me.
The one exception is the stick-in-the-mud labels who do vinyl and CD, but not download and / or streaming. I’d be happy to buy a FLAC download from Ace records but they just don’t do them. Hence there is a total of one CD in the “to the charity shop” pile, and that’s from Ace Records.
I’m reminded of a similar article from 6-12 months ago and whoever runs Invada’s socials retorting that while they sell plenty of vinyl, they sell more cassettes than CDs.
Still got all mine, in two places, ripped to a hard drive and in boxes in the loft.
I don’t own a CD player*

I think there’s FOMO amongst the punditing-classes of missing the next revival having overlooked the vinyl revival for years.
I have an odd nostalgia (given my age) for them, as their peak coincided with me finally being able to afford something half-decent to listen to music on.
Yes, the hard drive is backed up

I was sure that it was, but couldn’t resist the meme.

ISTR reading that charities were now selling them in bulk to specialist resellers (people like Music Magpie ?). The sales in the shops had become too slow to make giving them shelf space worthwhile.
Depends on the location. Leamington and Summertown Oxfams have a reasonable amount of classical stuff.
I have all my CDs in big 250 disc wallets at the back of the wardrobe as a hard backup. Been there for 10+ years.

CD = computer audio for dummies.

Glad CDs are gone. I still have my collection, should probably sell most of them.
Bought one the other week at a gig.
one way of supporting small artists.

Sorry to my ears still sound better than streaming

Still keep mine and will add when something I want isn’t available on vinyl.
This, plus so many CV’s now offer extra tracks (often many) that you can’t get elsewhere.
