High rez downloads will be the death of commercial CD's, store or internet bought. There will be no reason for them. The only viable physical media left will be LP's. Amazon and Circuit City both have extensive online LP catalogs now.
As for the Squeezebox, coupled with Rhapsody, it is a great source for music, though still lacking in even CD quality resolution. I still use my SB extensively and sounds pretty good in my system through a high-quality DAC. It is certainly enjoyable and saves me from buying CD's if I don't care for the music. It also hooks up with Pandora, numerous internet radio stations around the world, Live365 and other services. Considering the price, it's a no-brainer.
