Are CD players dead

Back at you!

>Back at you!<

And you said this, why?

Shakey,

No malice intended. The only words I understood from your post was the last line. It may be a chore to read the other posts here, but if you re-read your post and it makes sense to you, then I guess I just don't understand it. Had it not been for your complaint, I would not have made the comment. Don't dwell on it.

Again, everyone avoids the question. How do you keep the
Major Labels honest, and committed to increasing Music
Selection in High Rez. Downloads? CD's are supposed to be
gone by the end of 2012. How do you make up for the loss in CD Music Selection with a skeleton of Music Selection- in High Rez. Downloads? SHOW ME the Music Selection in
High Rez. Downloads before you do away with CD Music
Selection. If you are switching Formats, they are supposed
to overlap! What are you trying to create ,a vacuum of Music inbetween THIS Transition-WHY? Do we forgo Music?

"How do you keep the Major Labels honest, and committed to increasing Music

My surmise is that the fixed costs associated with offering a Hi-Rez download are significantly less than those of producing and distributing a CD. Once more audiophiles start investing in computer based front ends, I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t be profitable for the major labels to offer more Hi-Rez downloads.
