Supermarket giant Sainsbury s says it has decided to stop selling CDs and DVDs as streaming services take their toll on sales of the products.
A spokesperson said Sainsbury s customers increasingly went for music and films online instead of buying the shiny silver discs.
The firm said sales were being phased out, although it would continue to sell vinyl records in some stores.
CD sales have shrunk in the past decade but were still worth £115m last year.
Other big supermarkets show no sign of following Sainsbury s lead, with larger branches of Tesco, Asda and Morrisons still stocking a range of CDs and DVDs.
