Are CD players dead

Indie labels are doing really elegant things with CD packaging, as are arTEEST types such as Bjork. Her "Family Tree" box is a never-ending source of packaging delight.

CDs are a lot more utilitarian than LPs, but digital music takes the cake in that regard. I don't doubt that it's brilliant. My fundamental issues are technological, and overall selection.

I am a lot less dogmatic about digital than I used to be. Now, I just want the music.

In this context, what exactly does "left behind" mean?

Nothing nostalgic here. Just believe that the only leverage
to help incentivise Major Labels actually do continue to increase costly Music selection in High Rez. Downloads, an
alternative Format with huge selection (CD) be used as a wedge. End of 2012, leverage/wedge is gone with selection in High Rez. Downloads in limbo? How do you make sure to keep the Major Labels honest on promises for more Music
Selection in High Rez. Downloads? What....pinky promise?
Really???
