Goodbye CD's

Seems that Borders by me is unloading all their cd's..They claim they are just not selling...Im sure this is just the beginning of the end in the retail stores for cd's...can it long before cd's are gone completely? Many Ive spoken with including some dealers have mentioned this and said "the writing is on the wall" for cd playback..

I have been on the fence about going to a file data system for music, and have been eyeing a Squeezebox duet and setting up my hard drive to take the plunge..maybe now its that time??

Or..maybe just Im just a geezer in my heart of hearts and should just look for old and new Vinyl to keep me going...hmmm..I could be very happy with a mainly vinyl set up ;-)

i burned all 1900 of my cd's to wav and flac, however holding them cause every once in awhile you find the rip had "noise" in it and have to do over

I use EAC for rip. I resisted PC audio for long time but given the state of outboard DAC's these days (which i was only using CD as transport anyway) why not? and to those who think 24/96 is voodoo, if it is just remaster, it is still a revelation in some recordings (i.e. check out Talking Heads in 24/96 compared to cd)
