Even when CDs were still the norm, I thought they were a pain. Too few songs, and they were more of a pain than cassette tapes. A cassette tape you can grab blindly and don't have to worry about scratching or getting finger prints like a CD. Cassettes are thicker, but otherwise less bulky. CDs data storage is too small. I could see maybe using a compact DVD, but even then, some sort of flash memory is much, much better. When you can fit almost 23 CDs worth of music on a memory card the size of a dime (micro SD card), it just doesn't make sense to use CDs.
