Why CD players will never be dead

The main reason , there is just way to many CD's out there to end a format . Anyone want to take a guess how many ? The manufacturers are still putting there time and resources into developing new and better players , and people with servers seem to be spinning disc's more than ever .

I still buy CD's mostly from Amazon, but I rip every one of them and playback using Mac and Amarra. CD players are not even close. I dont do computer audio for the convenience, I do it for the sound quality. I modded CD players and transport for customers for 10 years. Even modded ones dont cut it IMO. I dont mod anymore.

I'm with Steve on this one except that the only thing I can mod are my fingernails: that's the extent of my talents.
Buy and rip.
Playback on your Mac, or PC.

Another vote for Steve. Who want's to be bothered with searching through stacks and stacks of Cd's. I have around 2800 Cd's ripped. My music server is not much bigger than a deck of cards and I can control my Squeezeboxes with my iphone. Spinning discs is so 2004.
