Music is such an important part of life, sparking feelings of joy and nostalgia, soothing us when we’re feeling down, entertaining at parties, or serving as great background sounds while we work, relax, or enjoy quiet time.

Music, available in various formats like vinyl, CD, and digital downloads, spans many genres, from pop to rock, R&B to soul, rap, dance, country, classical, reggae, and more.

Plus, you can get music in less popular, more niche categories, like folk, karaoke, gospel, and world. And there’s music tied to favourite movies or franchises through soundtracks, too.

Music is available from all major studios, like Sony, Harmonia Mundi, Columbia, Universal, Island Records, Def Jam, Atlantic, and Disney; as well as independent publishers.

Whatever your taste or mood, there’s music to suit it!

What formats can you get music in?

Music nowadays comes in three main formats. While digital downloads and streaming is popular, you can also get your favourite music in the form of CDs to play in CD players, CD decks in cars, or in places where you might not have access to cellular data or Wi-Fi. Plus, it’s nice to keep something physical as part of a collection, or simply for posterity.

CDs include cool graphics and liner notes with information about the artists and songs, and sometimes even lyrics.

The latest trend, which is actually a throwback, is that of vinyl. Lots of music comes in record/LP format that you can play on a turntable, connected to speakers in your home. LPs include additional information about the album as well, and can look great when displayed on the wall, or a dedicated shelf in your listening room. There’s nothing cooler than letting guests flip through your record collection. And you can truly appreciate beautiful album cover art in all of its glory when looking at it on a large vinyl record sleeve.

Some CD and LPs come as single discs, others as two-disc sets, and some even come in bundles with multiple records or CDs, all of a single theme from a single artist or studio.
