In Reply to: The end of CDs? posted by Jank on February 10, 2007 at 01:37:50:
Is Red Book dead (As a recording format/standard)? Not quite yet. It looks much healthier that both SACD and DVD-A. Is CD dead as a recording media? What are the alternatives? I wouldn't mind to keep my music on a very large hard drive, but then I have to make sure it won't crash (so I need some kind of RAID), and also I need something I can play the recordings at different locations, in and our the house, so I need some extra electronics as well.So: for the time being I've decided to stay with CD as a media, because (a) it does not crash as a hard drive, (b) I can play it on variety of devices, most do not depend on having some software runing. So I consider CD convenient kind of media. The future development may create some other, more convenient alternatives. As it stands now I have roughly 2,000 CDs, may be more. I have a few CD players, including portable ones, so I can't have all my collection on iPod or even on a large hard drive, again, I would need RAID, and I just don't want to get involved. Digital download? You need some extra time on your hands.
