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?

No way.I was a 100% vinyl person from 1963 to 1990.I finally caved and bought a cd player that year.Now I have a decent cd collection to go with my lps. and 45s..Many cds. sound really good, especially if mastered properly try Sundazed Beau Brummels.Also many cds have unreleased cuts on them. I remember the death of the lp all too well, still waiting.Both formats will live on for music afficianados.The everyday person will take the easiest route and buy whatever is the latest.The lemming syndrome.Time will tell,there may be a temporary death knell, but watch, once people think they are obsolete, they will become desireable again.Tube gear comes to mind along with vinyl and old cars.And old cars are in no way better performing than new ones,and I have both and like boyh.
