Nah ! Something is dead only when there is no alternative to replace it.
Any number of us "Old Schoolers" never "hook,line & sinker" bought completely into depending on Downloads or Music Services as our only means of getting music
Shame on anyone if they depend on "Mainstream" trends to dictate how they will be able to
do anything they value doing. I'm not ready to play "Chicken Little: The sky is falling" over something that is a non-issue due to the fact I normally plan ahead ! (You can always go on
Facebook & play. Chicken Little there. I would imagine there is never a.shortage of whinners
over there)

I think CDs are the best overall value in music today. Amazon's own compromised downloads cost as much and sometimes more per album than a CD. Sadly the cost of vinyl is getting rather high, the last new LP I bought a month ago was $ 18.00, a bargain considering most are priced at $ 25.00 or higher. Same applies to SACDs.
By the way, I've had really good luck buying used CDs through Amazon, all so far have been in the exact condition they were advertised.

Great music, great prices.

So many bargains in any music genre, dirt cheap classical CD box sets, no need to worry about storage, crashing and backing up the computer, they are full bandwidth, and you can resell them or give them as gifts. Try doing that with a download.
The thrift stores in my area are selling them for a buck each. There is a lot of good stuff. There is also the occasional SACD and DVD-A. I also have Marantz and Pioneer Elite universal players that I bought from a thrift store to play them on. Never adopt a technology until it is obsolete!

Thanks to Blu-Ray, the Marantz DV-9500/DV-9600 series are now cheap multi-disk spinners and just as good for CD/SACD as they were when they sold for approx. $2K.
This was the lesser DV6600, but it was only $15. Still a very good deal IMO. I would love to find a DV-9500/DV-9600 anywhere near that price, but the DB6600 does surprisingly well on Redbook. It is no giant killer, but it does the job.
