CD's are popular because they don't get scratched.

Head-to-head, vinyl records can be ruined by scratches a lot easier
than CD's, yes, but CD's can certainly be scratched beyond repair - and
it's not that hard to do, even accidentally.

can't tell the difference between a phone call and FM.


That's like saying "the average person can't tell the difference
between chocolate and horseradish"!

Really, it's pretty much true. The "average" person really can't tell the
difference in quality between AM, FM or CD. Nor mono and stereo for that
matter. They listen to 'their tunes', and that's all that's important. For
years, their were two hard rock stations in Portland. One AM (out of
Vancouver) and one FM. The ratings were in a dead heat. Basically, if it's
what people want to hear, they'll listen to it.
