Re: Since 2000 the sales down between 10-20% a year

I am guessing you don't have a music server. Too many titles?? The computer is designed to handle hundreds of thousands of files pretty effortlessly, and I can get to my songs and albums way faster than with cds. To say this is not convenient is crazy.
Why anyone would want to deal with missing disks, scratched disks, skipping songs, polishing disks, little green pens, cd mats, etc. is beyond me.
Sure it is prudent to back up your drives, but not having to wonder why this disk isn't in its case, and where are all the disks going to go, is well worth the time it takes to back up.
Also, with band width the way it is these days the potential to down load whole cds in even hi-res form is here.
Recently I down loaded some 24/96 classical files, and if I could have, I would have downloaded the recent cds I purchased if given the option.
WIth a pc based system, the sound quality and convenience is better than it has ever been, and the cd demise can't happen too soon IMHO.
