I'm glad CDs are "dying". Lots of inexpensive music is popping up at the local record store, and unless they are poorly mastered, CDs can sound fantastic with a good player.
The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD
A few days ago, one of my favorite YouTube channels did a video on the CD. This channel (Asianometry) always does an incredible job telling the story of different technologies, technical industries and/or products.
I think most of you will find the 25 minute video to be very interesting.
