will the day come when?


Do my fellow Audiogoners think there will come a day when we won't even be able to give our CDs away, because they will be considered an inferior audio product compared too?

No. Two trends are colliding: better hard copy formats like DVD-Audio, SACD, Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, and vinyl versus low res downloadable formats, like MP3. The low res formats will win popular volume, effectively beaching the hi res formats with fewer and fewer buyers. CD's will be considered amongst the high quality versions of performances for the more discerning audiophile. (Note that well done CDs are already there, like XRCD and HDCD.) They will become collecter's items for high end hard copy aficiondos.
