Are CD players dead


I went to an audiophile meeting today and the owner of the store said Cd's and cd players are dead. He said you need to start learning about computer audio or you will be left behind. Is what he is saying true?

Roxy54 and Rocketman,
Agree with both of you, enough already with this redundant topic.Millions upon millions of CDs with millions of folks who still enjoy and buy them.
I did attend the recent RMAF and could play my CDs in 80% of the rooms I visited, there were many CD players available.
Good points Petyofficer, I don`t have any issue at all with those who have choosen the computer audio route.
Just stop preaching to the many who still enjoy/prefer CDs, Red book in a good set-up still sounds very good and is quite riliable.
Best Regards,
I agree with Mapman regarding the lousy packaging of the CD. The saving grace is the still really good sound redbook is capable of providing when mastered well i.e. most jazz recordings. In a high quality system they can sound as good as anything else.
