RE: CD players going the way of the 8 track

Hey Baco,

Yea, too bad, just listen to the absolute crap out there for "young people". It has no redeeming musical or entertainment value. Most of it is trash. IMHO.

Not sure what you are talking about here. I certainly agree that most music made now is crap. They find a way to compress even the good stuff with dynamic range compression. But if you are talking about downloads, there are some good places. Linn audio has some great music available for download and many hi-res titles. Cd is limited to 44.1 AFAIK. Computer audio isnt.

I'm one to refuse going the computer DAC route. I'm also not going to try and transfer over 1k CD's.

No sympathy from me. At this point I have done about 3,000 discs. It can be a pain but it isnt hard. Hell I can do it. Best to do 4-5 in the morning and 4-5 at night. Once you get the favorites done and see how convenient it can be you will WANT to get the rest done.

I'm old!

Great. Then you hopefully have the money to pay some youngster to do the work. In fact there are many companies who will rip the discs for you at affordable rates.

Anyhow it is just a matter of time. The cd drives themselves are being produced at a lower and lower rate. When the dvd dies and it will cdp owners will be sorely pressed to replace their transport.

So when you are cleaning up get a brand that has a history of buying extra replacement parts.....
