The cd is definitely fading fast because it holds no interest for the young. Recently I went to 15th anniversary party for the Louisiana Music Factory, a cd and record store in New Orleans that specializes in local music (but now that Virgin and rap specialists Odyssey never reopened after Katrina and Tower went bankrupt, they are the only music store in Downtown New Orleans.) The place was jammed, there was live music and beer, but there was no one under 35 to be seen. The young kids I know almost never buy cds--they'll down load what they want to hear or burn stuff for each other. The cd is like the cassette was 20 years ago; a conveniance but not a destination.As a very small time producer of creative jazz cds, I know how hard it is to sell cds. They are good vehicles for selling something at a gig, but as fewer customers will frequent brick and morter stores, all the action is either in digital transmission for the pop market or in vinyl for the very scecialized market. For me, the cd is a necessary evil, and it's demise reminds me I have to explore releasing sessions on vinyl . . .
