There was a time when selling of musical CDs and movie CDs were in vogue. In that time, people that sold those CDs used to make so much money. In this days of YouTube and Netflix, is the business still moving in your country?
Do you still have shops that sell music CDs on your country?

This is one business that advancement of technology has rendered non existent. When devices have memory spaces that are on hundreds of gigabytes, no one needs CD any longer.
Even though, many music lovers are getting their music online, there are plenty shops in Nigeria where you can get music CD.
Some people are still engaging in the trade and if they don't have patronage, they would have stopped it.
Not all music lovers are conversant on how to get their favorite music online.

Are you sure that those people are making any sales? That business might to a large extent work only in the rural area where people don't have access to internet.
Yes you can watch video on YouTube and Netflix now but there are still some people who still deal in that old style, so people that will sell too will still be selling it, but it won't be as rampant as then when we are only depend on CDs
We still have a shop called HMV in some big Cities, the one closest to me has closed so I was gutted.
I think some big supermarkets still sell some cd's along with some dvd's but not many any more.
It is very sad, as as a child it was great to just go and look at the records and cd's.
When I was very young there was a shop and you could listen to the music in a booth before you decided if you wanted to buy the record or not.
I still listen to music on a few cassttess
There are still people who sell CDs but most people now sell audio. People can still listen to audio songs in their car, work place or at home, though they can download the songs online but some people still prefer buying the CD
About a year ago, a big shop selling music and video CDs closed down. That is not surprising as not many people buy CDs nowadays. There are a few small shops still selling CDs here. I'm not sure if they are making profits.
What do you think is the perfect replacement for people selling CDs before technology make them have reduction in the quantity of CDs that they sell since their buyers now have better alternative
Yes of course, we still have so much shops in Lagos Nigeria that are into that kind of business. One of their biggest market is Alaba International Market Lagos.
We do still have stores that still sell CDs over here, they are not as widely bought as they used to be now but they are still available for those who do like to still collect them.
My daughter has still been buying CDs, she collects the BTS albums so she is someone who still buys CDs.

The new generation of PC doesn't read CD anymore means it stills some people having old kind of PC that have CD reader but they may disappear in future and another technology replaces CD.
I was so gutted when the HMV in the nearest city to us closed. Used to love going to have a look round, I should have spent more money in there.
There is a HMV in the city that our daughter is at uni, but not the same.
I also like the music BTS make but do not have any CD's of them

Ordering on lime doesn't have the buzz of going to the store and buying, or am I just showing my age now?

It may fade out, but the record faded out and has now made a big come back, I kept a lot of my records, my husband is now so gutted that he got rid of all his, I did try very hard to get him to keep some.
I am saving to buy another hi fi unit that plays records, CD's and cassettes, as I still have a few cassettes.
In the kitchen I have a CD player that also plays the cassettes, but I want to play records as well while I am cooking the tea, baking etc, and you can't hear if you put the records on in the sitting room
