Cd's to make a come back in the future?

To me one of the problems facing HD Tracks in addition to high prices, often double the cost of the brand new CD, is that they do not 'keep' your file for you the way iTunes does. If you lose it, it is gone.

I know you back things like this up. And I do. But for real security, especially if you have a lot of money invested in purchased hi-res files you should haveoff site backup. No, its not that hard to do using someone's cloud service but for the premium you pay at HD Tracks you should be able to retrieve files from them. I'm sure there is some legal/market/copyright issue with that.

Of course our hard media (CDs, vinyl, tapes, etc) does not have offsite back up either. Your house burns and they're gone.......but if you've ripped them and are worried about that you could easily store them somewhere else.

Tape is a natural medium. It breathes

 But is it organic?.......lol

Unfortunately bits of the tape tend to get stuck in your teeth......

But seriously I have been taken aback of late by the sq from my old oppo  bdp80 used as a transport fed into the bnc  input of my Ayon tube dac.

Has me rethinking cd right now.......

Just when you thought it was safe to turn out the light......

Streaming will eventually kill all hard media.
