This is truly a shame. There are still so many fantastic high end CD players out there being manufactured and now SACD seems to be moving forward. I will admit CD's are a pain in the ______ to keep clean. They do skip from time to time or the CD players just pauses due to imperfections, dust, etc. But if the next gen is true progress, whatever that will be, we must consider it and go forward. But I do agree it will be a long time before this format dies out completely. Will the same thing happen to DVD movies?
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 ;-)
