The end of physical media is neigh

@bolong well done, that was my first thought too!

I'm going to hoard all my cd and dvd.i have not lost one to the cloud yet.enjoy the music

As a sidebar, @mahgister is so right, neurologically, about reading and writing!

The end isn't near. LG was never selling many players to begin with. Most sales went to Panasonic and Sony. Those are still the top decently priced ones to get and they still sell plenty. I'm surprised LG didn't make this move sooner tbh. 

Yes. A paid download can be stored on your HD and copied, moved, and backed up however you wish. You own the file.

@cleeds  Thanks.  That’s what I would’ve thought but wasn’t sure.  It makes total sense.
