Are CD players dead


I went to an audiophile meeting today and the owner of the store said Cd's and cd players are dead. He said you need to start learning about computer audio or you will be left behind. Is what he is saying true?

Here is a Lesson, Devilboy, in economics. You need to look beyond your nose of Computer Audio logic. I have no problem
with the Market sharing between CD, Downloading, and Music
Files. For those who claim CD sounds better, motivation to
improve the sound of Computer Audio. For those who claim
Computer Audio sounds better, motivation to improve the sound of CD. This is a win, win for the consumer-more bang for his buck. This is what stimulates the market-COMPETITION! Take it down to one exclusive Format-where is the motivation, where is the competition? A single
exclusive product doesn't make a Market. It destroys the
Market, destroys competition, and destroys the choices that
Consumers have. Computer Audio Fanatics are the only ones
preaching this exclusive form of what-marketing? Based on
Consumers being REGULATED to a single Format. I'm preaching
multiple Formats to give Consumers choices, not to exclude
all other Formats for the sake of one. My Philosophy is one of inclusion, yours is one of exclusion where everyone loses. Sheldon, Howard, and Leonard are losers no matter how sharp they are with a Computer. Why drag the rest of us down with them? Is this some kind of Geeks revenge or what-destroy the entire Audio Market for everyone instead of just sharing it? Ernst Stavro Blofeld would be proud, and you will get your Spectre Ring in the mail!
Good points Petyofficer, I don`t have any issue at all with those who have choosen the computer audio route.
Just stop preaching to the many who still enjoy/prefer CDs, Red book in a good set-up still sounds very good and is quite riliable.

PO: Microdots, gel tabs, paper, shrooms, mescaline, nitrous, california orange, panama red perhaps? Whatever it is you have, let me know where and when we can get together to discuss this further.....fascinating.
You just don't get it. I have no problem with someone who disagrees with me. Quite the contrary in fact. I WELCOME a difference of opinion, but take a look a some of the endless rants PO has made and tell me he is not on something.
