Nostalgic shoppers have been left upset and worried after Sainsbury's supermarket made the decision to announce that one of their product ranges was coming to an end.
They will be permanently removing shelves of CDs and DVDs to make way for new products that sell more.
The decline in sales of physical albums and DVDs began with the popularity of the internet and online streaming services like Spotify and Netflix - making them almost redundant.
The news has left many people feeling furious according to Birmingham Live.
However, one retro product that does well and will be staying in stores are vinyls which is good news for record lovers.
One vented: "I’m a big fan of physical media and always will be. When a new album that I want comes out I’ll buy the CD. When the latest movie is released I’ll get the Blu Ray. It’s a shame the world seems to be moving away from it."
"Damn shame," said a second.
Another wrote: "Supermarkets were never good places to buy films or music. Decline in physical media or not."
A spokesperson for Sainsbury's explained: "Our customers increasingly go online for entertainment, so earlier this year we took the decision to gradually phase out the sale of DVDs and CDs, so that we can dedicate extra space to food and popular products like clothing and homewares."
A spokesperson for the British Phonographic Industry said: "The CD has proved exceptionally successful for nearly 40 years and remains a format of choice for many music fans who value sound quality, convenience and collectability.
“Although demand has been following a long-term trend as consumers increasingly transition to streaming, resilient demand is likely to continue for many years, enhanced by special editions and other collectible releases.
“If some retailers now see the format as less of a priority, this will create a further opportunity for others, such as independent shops and specialist chains such as HMV, to cater to the continuing demand.”
