Cd's to make a come back in the future?


I heard a reviewer John Darko say he thinks cd's will make a come back. Does anyone think so to?
I have no intention of selling/giving away my cd collection now or ever.
Thoughts?

+ 1 Redbook CD. People have no idea,, generally speaking, just how much information is waiting there in the nano-scale spiral of data waiting to be unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Getting from point A to point B is a gauntlet of obstacles. People have jumped ship and goneĀ to streaming or servers, one assumes because they got tired of the hassle. Please, anyone who thinks Redbook right out of the box is the greatest thing since chunky Ā peanut butte, no angry emails.
Tape is a natural medium. It breathes. Iā€™ll take my $3 Sony Walkman Cassette Player and let folks fight over the Nakamichi.
Clutter is very bad for the sound. The objective is, in a manner of speaking, to reduce entropy as much as you can. The system will sound a whole lot better in a relatively empty room than a room filled with CDs, LPS, videos, Books, TV, cell phones, iPad, magazines, etc., scoutā€™s honor. āœŒļøNote media and communications devices especially.Ā

True. And for the serious audiophile just physically being in the room represents a conundrum.

I often thought my car cassette system sounded better than my home LP system in many respects. More dynamic, more coherent, much more entertaining. Of course, there are some good reasons why that would be so. Battery power, crossover-less speakers, nearfield listening, seismic isolation provided by shock absorbers. Besides, tape is a natural medium. It breathes.
