dfisk Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 You know, just the fact that CDs even work is amazing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindrop Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yep more and more stuff is going to exist outside our heads and our possession until we become obsolete too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 TY made really good CD blanks, but someone will carry on if they don't. We can still get LP lacquers, and that's an even stranger process than making a blank CD. p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfoxx Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Saying that CD as a media is dead or dying is kinda misleading. Consider that there hasn't been and probably will not be a need for a better format or formats (WAV and MP3). Most players these days play both and even other formats like WMA and AAC. So all the formats work fine for the media. In my opinion this locks in CD's for an indefinite amount of time. Sure we rip our CD's and use other media to store them but we just turn right back around and burn them onto a CD. There will always be a need for physical media until some super data infrastructure that is so readily available and obscenely capable blankets our "modern" society. Heck we can't even get past archaic utility monopolies. Also pricing between CD's and MP3's is way too analogous for one to replace the other. Here's a good read on the "death" of CD's. http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/01/buying-music-is-so-over/384790/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyman Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 The last album I bought (two weeks ago) wasn't on CD or even digital.... But rather vinyl! The irony of it all was that I was born in 1988 / CD's had already overtaken vinyl by then. I now have about a 1000 LPs and about another 100 1/4" reel to reel tapes. For digital I usually use Spotify today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
