Future of CD's - Hard drive based music

The big change/future I have found is the use of all digital music - I havent used my CD player since christmas - I got a Mac Mini and ripped all my CDs to the harddrive lossless formated and got a decent DAC - I Ripped only the songs I liked and I now have over 4 days worth of music I enjoy - no more getting up changing CD's,I can instantly play any song from my entire library of favorites. I use my Sony Hi-def TV as the monitor so I can web browse while listening to music. The sound quality is as good as CD's as far as I can tell - I wonder how long it will be before lossless songs are offered online - this will completely kill the need for CD's for me.

Jaybo, To add to what you said--Many times those who just download one song from a CD miss some real jems. I recently bought a CD (the actual physical disc) because one song grabbed me. Then I discovered another song on the CD that I liked even more after hearing it on my system and I have grown fond of the entire disc.

I copied the disc to my music server and safely stored the disc because I plan to live for a long time and expect to need it again.
