Are CD players dead

I went to an audiophile meeting today and the owner of the store said Cd's and cd players are dead. He said you need to start learning about computer audio or you will be left behind. Is what he is saying true?

Just stop preaching to the many who still enjoy/prefer CDs, Red book in a good set-up still sounds very good and is quite riliable. Best Regards,

The saving grace is the still really good sound redbook is capable of providing when mastered well i.e. most jazz recordings. In a high quality system they can sound as good as anything else.
