Are the CD'S days numbered?

i hope so. that way there will be more at the flea markets for a dollar or two. old ones obviously. i had not heard that news about ford. i guess they are going to usb? or wireless?

Google it. That is FORD in EUROPE. only.
So they may decide to do it eventually in the USA, but for now it is only for Ford cars to be sold in Europe.
They may start with the no CD as the standard content, but will allow some in an upgrade stereo...
Jeez a small comment turns into mass rumour..
The sky is falling.. AHHhhahahahah

Regardless of what Ford is, or isn't doing, my guess is that the CD is headed towards one of two futures - either as a small niche product, like the LP, or into 8-track oblivion. Hard to say which, although I think oblivion would be a much longer time coming than it was for 8-track, simply because of the number of CDs in existence and their durability. Personally I lean towards "niche product," but my crystal ball has always had poor reception.

When did Ford decide this ? The 2011 Ford I drive a work has a CD player .

Probably about as numbered as LPs.
Todays kids will (for years) eye us playing CDs like we're spinning LPs.
So be it.
