Are the CD'S days numbered?


Ford will no longer put CD players in new cars. Are they going the way of cassette and 8 track?

I do not know but when I think the CD may be dead I hear a CD Player like the Audio Research CD 7 and or CD 8 and with the ease of use I end up going wow that sounds great. I have a Mach2Music Mac Mini and it is awesome too and it kills most CD Players as a transport. I have room for both the music server and the CD Player. I will keep my Mach2Music Music server and I will own an audio Research CD 8.
I think CD is going away...but it is a good medium (though clearly not the best), and is widely available (relative to SACD, blu-ray, DVD-a) for music. My suggestion? I like having a hard copy of music anyway...and when i can go to Amazon and buy nearly anything i want for 3 bucks...i am going to keep doing it til they run out...years from now. and then i can always transfer it to hard drive.

meanwhile, i am going to wait on trying to do high-res because there does not appear to be much available at this time. (certainly not in comparison to CDs). BTW, have you ever bought a CD for 3 bucks, and the lower-res mp3 version was 9 bucks? seems a bit silly.
