CD no more produced?

i Murgesh, from your note it is not clear whether you downloaded your music in a compressed format or uncompressed. Writing music in digital format back to a CD is a step backwards in the sense that the CD is a combination mechanical and digital device.

Like it or not the way of the future is home media servers, which can be as simple as a USB thumb drive connected to your home router sharing your media files in all possible available formats over your home network to network connected devices. This can be a Fire TV, android box or similar with optical or coax digital connections.

I use an Asus router, with a 256 GB USB thumb drive containing my original ripped CDs in VAW (uncompressed) format, streaming to a fire TV which is connected through optical connection to NAD digital amplifier, using Triangle speakers as Analog to digital converter’s. The best sounding system I have ever had for a cost under $2000.

Downloaded music is Flac form.
Yes, there is lots of convenience when we rip\download  all our music to USB drive. Yes, future is streaming, since I am old school guy, feel better with CD's, sameway others will feel Vinly is good for them.
My question again, are the latest albums are available on  CD?

Here is a retailer selling cd's/vinyl.
Probably not music for the slippers and pipe brigade though.

@gawdbless  stereotypes can be dangerous. I can often be found smoking a pipe (quality tobacco blend, Holy City) and wearing slippers while listening to the Butthole Surfers or Jane's Addiction. ;-)

Someone mentioned HD Tracks as an alternative to CDs. I've purchased one album from them. I did this for two reasons: 1) There was a discount offer and 2) The album I wanted was Gary Clark Jr's first album the CD of which is overly compressed. The HD Tracks version was little less compressed and higher resolution than the CD. I don't think the resolution makes that much difference to be honest but the lower degree of compression did.

Having said that, even with the discount the album was around $17 whereas a used CD would be about $5 or $6.

As far as I am concerned HD Tracks simply isn't worth the money even for a marginally better recording.If it is a far superior recording then maybe. Plus, if you lose the file or it is damaged you're out of luck. They do not 'keep' your purchases for you the way Apple does. Backup is critical.

@n80- 
 of course old punks never die, they are just not as active, and like to wear slippers and smoke a pipe whilst cranking the stereo and spitting on the ceiling......those were the days of misspent yoof.lol......
