In audio circles stamped cd’s have been making a comeback. It’s much like the last decades vinyl revival. It’s not the older generations getting nostalgia, it’s the younger generations looking for ‘experience’ over content. Buying a physical thing, storing on the shelf, having a visible collection of disks to show off. Additionally it is a revenue stream for artists, where despite the costs of mastering and pressing a cd, they can get more money from a cd release than from streaming. So artists have been incentivized do make releases a big deal since they money goes straight to them. It’s a bit like a ‘buy me a coffee’ but with a physical item. You can buy brand new cd players, not just blueray players or vintage units that need service. It’s a thing.
