CD Dead??

There are billions of CD players out there worldwide.

How many servers are there?

The LP has been supposedly dieing for 25 years. Sales keep going up.

CD player dead? Well yes of course like all technology it will one day go the way of the dinosaur. I would have to guess that the only people at the moment buying new and used decks are ones with a crap load of software. Most young and some on audiogon just download and play it through an ipod or play it through their pc into their stereos.

It's another opinion. I wouldn't make funeral arrangements just yet.

Are you going to carry around the server on your back with some headphones?

technology get's smaller as it goes through it's stages of infancy through maturity and even sometimes so small that it is also perceived to be almost invisible.
