Many insightful and compelling thoughts above -- well done. CD's will
become a fringe audiophile/ecclectic thing like vinyl is now. All but a handful
of the audiophile grade CD recordings will gradually become worthless accept
to a fringe minority (us).
I converted my digital front-end to a computer music server (lossless files)
over two years ago. I still have only downloaded a handfull of albums because
they come in a compressed format (AAC on iTunes). When CD quality
downloads become more common I will move in that direction. That said, I
have a second computer that has my lossless collection in AAC for my iPod.
CD is fast becoming an audiophile format -- strange isn't it?
