A bad enough scratch on a disc can render it useless.ĬD/DVD use hasn’t just declined in the home. They’re prone to breaking, scratching or getting lost. Discs have never been the most convenient method of portable file sharing anyhow. Even car manufacturers have taken the hint, opting to make Bluetooth and AUX/USB ports standard instead of CD players. Ĭonsumers have discovered that it’s far more convenient to stream or download content via their smartphones, tablets, and computers -many of which are no longer being manufactured with optical disk reading drives. Even highly popular electronic chain stores like Best Buy have started to phase out CD sales. It may seem odd-after all, disks were a popular method for file sharing all the way up to a few years ago.
The evolution of data storage has rendered DVDs and CDs virtually useless. Whether you have Windows 10 or a Mac, it’s free and simple to copy over your DVD or a CD to a large capacity flash drive.
