Love the irony of this post. Started in 2008 "sky is falling" no more CDs and they are as plentiful as ever, just not in B&Mortar stores. But no trouble getting any on Amazon.
Pretty much the same as vinyl. No as plentiful as the 80's but you can still get much of it on Amazon. Even stuff like Enigma, on vinyl!
I have all the vinyl I ever owned (but not played that much), and all the CDs. Computer storage is great but HDDs fail and software gets obsolete. Ever wonder what happens to all your old photos stored on the Windows 95 computer? Do you ever really recover all your old stuff when an old computer goes bust?
Re-ripping a CD collection would be a pain, but at least you have the backup if you need it. Downloads how do you replace them?
I do like the current digital players like the Bryston simply because bit perfect rips of my CDs (via dbPoweramp) sound BETTER than any CD deck south of Esoteric and even memory players. Given the costs, a decent computer, a USB thumbdrive, and the BDP-1 are hard to beat.
