Are the CD'S days numbered?

Hi Nonoise

i also believe that as technology continues to advance, we are likely to see a continuation of a trend i have noticed...remastering of old albums onto CD. The entire Police/Sting collection, U2, and many other bands have had their stuff remastered (vintage '08...not '93)...and it is really good! Bob Ludwig has done all of the Police/Sting albums...i have several and they are incredibly good. Tons of jazz/blues albums are being remastered onto CD.

Lloydelee21,

Here's to hoping that the labels 'better angels in nature' see the potential and market for this. I've got a Trent Reznor NIN remastered CD that goes a long way towards making it listenable. There are so many CDs out there, begging for a new lease on life. Lets hope its not too costly.

yes! let's hope so!

Used cds will probably be available for at least the next 100 years if they can last that long. As for new releases..who knows? Anyway, I try to buy as few of them as possible especially new. And I go for Japanese. In my experience they are always better than anything else, always.

CD's are better than scratchy records, except when I have to pay $35. for a scratchy record because that's the only way I can get the music. As far as their days, they'll be around for a long time.
