CD Dead??


A good friend informs me that the CD player is going the way of the dinosaur and that digital music servers will replace the disks and the players with uncompressed downloads. Anyone else hearing this?

The point,as I understood it is that the music industry would want to download uncompressed music rather than issuing CD's. When you "buy" a CD you would be simply downloading the file, thereby eliminating the disc manufacturing process, the need for CD players, the distributors and retailers. That would be a huge financial benefit to the industry. A server like device with a huge hard drive would then hold your entire music library. And let's be real, how hard would it be for a computer like device to do a spectacular job of converting these files to analog?
