Does anyone actually listen to music with a CD player anymore?

It seems like everyone has some sort of mp3 player these days, including me. I only use CDs for the couple minutes it takes to copy them onto my computer and then it goes on my ipod and I put the CD away on a shelf. So, what do you use to listen to music? Do any of you still use CD players?

I still listen to my CDs, mostly on my DVD player though, as my stereo can be weird and not play some newer CDs. I like to play some CDs on the stereo downstairs when I'm cleaning or doing something else, because I don't like to use the mp3 player too much. When I'm using my computer I'll listen to mp3s that I've ripped when I don't want to listen to different albums or songs.

Yeah - the only time I don't is when I use my mp3 player when I'm walking around the house or going out somewhere. The rest of the time - which is a couple of hrs a day - I listen on my portable CD player. Or if I'm playing a game and I need some music, my CD player/radio. I like to feel I'm getting use out of my CDs after spending all that cash on them lol.

Same here, it's the reason I even buy CDs, the perfect quality.

I no longer have an mp3 player, only a portable CD player and a stereo set.

I always use my mp3 player.

I only buy CD's to simply collect them, sort of like trophy's.

I have no sound system where you can hear a difference between about 192 kbps mp3 and CD quality, so I listen almost solely to mp3s on the computer. Occasionally mp3s on my dvd player or ipod also. I do still BUY cds, but only the essential ones cuz i'm broke. The music I don't want to lose (cuz computer data isn't permanent, unfortunately, but factory-produced cds are, for the most part... only a few factory defects in the mid-80's showed a loss of sound over the years but that's a long boring technical thing so i'll shut up).

Might listen to CDs in my dvd player but yeah, for the most part, it's mp3s and mp3 rips for me.

Only when I go out...which is hardly ever ....

Provided that I did go out(side of my house) a lot..then i'd have a zen micro or something to replace my CD player ~...

It's so sad ;-;....I smell that CD's will eventually be transitioned out of permanently pretty soon

I got an iPod for my birthday this year and thus abandoned my CD player XD It's really more convenient now since I don't have to lug around my ginormous CD case.

Only in my room at home. I don't have an MP3 player, so...yeah.

And of course in the car! Well, my mom's car...but still.

And I listen to my CDs on my laptop as well, although I prefer my Discman because my laptop has a lame sound card.
