Probably. But they will go there. The end result will be the same.

Kids are growing up without a cdp just like they did before without an 8 track.

Just a matter of time.

And I have said this here before but you may not have seen it. To be precise my view is that CD PLAYBACK is dying. I still buy disks and hope they are made for a while. But I havent played a disk in a long long long while. Except for the dvd player and the drive on the computer I have nothing to play them back with.

Heck didnt apple just launch a computer or laptop without a drive. It was a major deal recently. The world is changing and physical media are going to be a thing of the past. DVDs are dying too. Why wait in the mail for a dvd or run to the store when you can just click a button on your TV screen and enjoy....

Afterwards we discovered faith; it's all you need

  We'll see.
  
  Did you see the post on here about the CBC digitizing and selling their cd collection and albums too?
  
  The writing is on the wall man.
  
  CBC
  
  Also dvds are declining too as more and more downloads and streaming take over:
  
  dvd
  
  Books too are headed that way. The future is digital.
  
  Here is a question for you. Are typewriters a thing of the past? WHY??

    You really think those links substantiate your predictions? A gently used crystal ball would be more credible.
    
    "Here is a question for you. Are typewriters a thing of the past? WHY??"
    
    So, the advent of word processing keyboards is one of your predictions? My guess is you've never predicted anything that became true. Besides, it's not as big of a leap as mental telepathy. Something more in your wheelhouse.

      Yes I do and as I said we will see. There are so many negatives for the longterm survival of cdp that it isnt even funny. Sales of dvd players are falling and so are cd sales. If the disks are so needed then why did the CBC get rid of them? Clearly disks arent needed so they will pass.

      I guess we just arent communicating. I didnt predict the demise of the typewriter, but I think it is safe to say that it IS dead. WHY? Because it isnt needed and current solutions are better and easier. Just like the cdp is not needed.
      
      Oh and that is a classy move trying to insult my intelligence. Looks like you are getting desperate.
      
      Obviously you like the cdp. Good luck with that. Me I think Linn and Ayre, Wavelength, etc. are more in touch with reality and know that the physical medium is dead.

        "Yes I do and as I said we will see. There are so many negatives for the longterm survival of cdp that it isnt even funny."
        This type of vagueness makes me wonder what we're debating about. If you don't want to commit to a timetable, is it fair to say it will occur in our lifetime?
        "Obviously you like the cdp." LOL, you're the one with the CD phobia. I'll be fine no matter what.
        "Me I think Linn and Ayre, Wavelength, etc. are more in touch with reality and know that the physical medium is dead."
        Dead? Now, you're either worshiping false prophets or misrepresenting their gospel. Maybe if you stay the course long enough they'll deliver you from your transgressions.
        As you've said, "Good luck with that."
