What will become of my beloved CDs?


I have nearly 2000 CDs (DVDA, SACD, etc) and am very fond of them, or at least the music that is on them. However, it seems that music distribution is going to someday soon be totally on-line through downloads (True? When?). So, when most all of the music on my CDs is available in higher-quality on-line downloads (with artwork, I'm sure), what will become of my CDs? Will they be the shiny-silver equivalent to 8-Track tapes? Or, will they become a novelty and collectable? Should I seel them ASAP?? Any economists here???

Eventually some smart and enterprising person will come up with some nice looking CD storage units again. Problem solved. 👍
CDPs aren't going anywhere, soon. Check out this thread from A'gon:

Right now, for the price of a decent server (which will be obsoleted in about 6 months) you can get a CDP and DAC that can rival some of the best PC gear out there. Sure, it's kind of old fashioned but who cares?


All the best,
