It brings to thought a realization and irritation I've had recently, though. Usually, I buy the new U2 albums on CD and play them in my car on repeat until I know them front and back.
Last year, I asked for the new album, "Songs of Experience" specifically in CD form. Brian got me the iTunes gift card that I wanted, but not the CD. His thought process: "No one buys CDs anymore, and you can just listen to it off your phone through the auxiliary cable."
All that is absolutely true. But here's the problem: I never plug in my phone to listen to anything unless it is a specific song and instance. Beyond that, it's a bit too much of a random inconvenience for me to plug my phone into the car.
So here I am: I have the album I wanted on my phone, but I never listen to it.
And in the car, I'm listening to old U2, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars and Meghan Trainor on repeat because I like those CDs a whole lot.
I want to like the new U2 a whole lot, too, but the lack of availability is making it hard.

I miss hearing the songs in the album order, but other than that, Pandora seems to scratch th e music itch pretty well. Sometimes we pop in a CD to enjoy at home, but we usually end up listening through youtube. Users have entire albums posted.
