There's no doubt computer audio is replacing the CD as the primary music source, but I'm sure it will survive in a niche like vinyl has. I'm eventually taking the computer audio plunge, I just don't need to do it now. But as more and more music is released in download only formats, I will have to make a move. Meanwhile I'll keep buying CDs cheap as more and more people dump their discs. Just like I did with vinyl back in the late 80s early 90s.
Best regards, Ralph
