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.

Gibson58 I agree with you about the graphics the arstist intended for his music, but in the computer you can download a file or go the the artist web page and see a whole graphic presentation.

I think in the near future, music will be downloaded from the groups own website, we will listen to internet radio and from there link to the groups site, independent internet radio stations will pop up from the most wierd music to the most "gourmet" music, we will exchange links to radio stations and from there link to the arstist own site, maybe even chat a little with them....
Bye bye record labels!!!
Artists can actually play in digital and record everything. We will be able to download jam sessions and new releases...unplugged versions uploaded this afternoon!!!

That being said I like the quality of my transport better than computer based still.
