Are CD players dead

The difference is if your Music Files fragment/ Hard Drive+
Back-up crash/ Viruses/ Malware/ Spyware....etc! Erased
or damaged data on fragile Music Files not so Sonically
pleasing. No such joy (SIC!) with physical media like
CD! Your right, I stand corrected! I should pay more for
the joy of the Former instead of the latter! Don't know
what I was thinking. Disposable Music Files better deal
for everyone around. After all, we all have more disposable
income now in todays Economy! Who wants something that lasts longer-NUTS!!! $$$Ka-ching$$$ $$$Ka-ching$$$

Pettyofficer,

it seems to me that you are worried about the lack of physical backup. May I suggest you use a RW DVD instead of a backup harddisc and sleep soundly?

What's a c-d player?

Having an RW DVD Disk is acceptable, but having a CD Disk is "BLASPHEMY"-Really? Correct me if I am wrong, but I
believe that you can use either one as a back-up hard disk?
The only difference-one of these you get to skip all of
the Computer Processing/conversion/compression/burning. CD's are also Processed, but that is not enough-you want more Processing/more Conversion. Oh-yeah, you want me to pay twice as much FOR the EXTRA Downloading/Processing/ compression/burning....etc.etc.etc! This is your imaginary Trophy Format to replace the real/tactile CD Format? What
Contest in Hell did I win to have this shoved down my throat? Sleep well at night while I try not to choke!
Computer Audio is still in development, it is NOT ready
for primetime-and you know it! I don't think that it is
crazy to keep CD around UNTILL you decide what the hell you are going to do with Computer Audio-because YOU DON'T KNOW YET!!!-DO YOU? We will keep our CD's till you decide! We reject your proposition of getting rid of our CD's now, and just holding our breath untill you get Computer Audio staightened out! You-are-not-ready, admit it! Some of us
can see the Train Wreck coming from dangerous, premature yanking of CD. There is NO TRANSITION, because you haven't planned one out! So what is exactly your plan for this
Transition- Panic/Mass Hysteria??? Bad Idea, Bad Plan!
Hold on to your CD's if you want to avoid it! Less risk
that way! Shouldn't we plan for our own risk, not let you cavalierly risk us? Don't we have a say in this?

This is my last word on this subject. Will have to accept
Downloading Format, and accept eventual end of CD Format.
Lost opportunity not to apply more "Caveat Emptor" at
beginning of CD Format. Still weary making same mistake twice of lost opportunity with Downloading Format. Cannot
unring the bell with Downloading Format. No use beating
the issue any further. "No use crying over spilt milk"!
Enough said. Sorry if any feelings were hurt-my apologies!
