Are CD players dead

Thanks to treads like this, I’ve started using my CD Player again. It’s been powered off for the last few years while I have concentrated on my music server for all digital playback. I’ve rediscovered just how much I like my old Esoteric DV-50. Digital hard disc media may on it way out, but not in my room.

That's funny. It's had the same affect on me...and left me wishing that threads about the death of CD players were dead.

Good point on the not finding cd quality downloads. If that should ever break (read: if iTunes ever becomes cd quality 16/44) THEN things will take off like a rocket on the computer music side of things.

That of course assumes most of the people actually care if Apple does that!

Is the owner of the store an idiot btw?

i don't think so. i think the owner of the store is a salesman. nothing moves product like a sense of urgency. :)
