Compact Disc as a format


Some say the compact disc is near it's end. I try to get some reasonable inputs concerning the subject. Merely to learn or just get a better perspective. I am thankful for all inputs on the subject.
Thanks!

Cd's will stick for some time and I still think computer based audio is not quite ready for prime time. Too many twists and turns and changes and steps and pieces and confusion and improvements and cd's still sound better. At least great cd players sound better to my ears.
Things change! Thanks to the internet, nothing is really dead it's becomes "Collectible" and will cost more.
I agree with Elizabeth, though I would say that burning stuff to a CD is more like copying to a cassette, so I think that CDs will end up being more like cassettes ultimately.
