i say bring back minidiscs, they can hold the same amount of lossless audio as a cd, they can be rewritten or dubbed with portable players; and fit in your pockets like cassettes, they’re cheap and easy to replace…

but in terms of wanting to hold my media like a trophy… i have my ext. hdd to keep on a shelf

Bring back cassettes. They could fit in my pocket.

I think physical media will always have a place in our world of exchanging music for money. CDs will of course eventually become old and impractical, and perhaps it already has. Still, people buy them and they flourish, just like LPs still do. So I think that announcing the death of CDs is a little self-pretentious if not even slightly stupid. After all: Who would ever want a computer in their home?

I like to buy CDs even though I have all the technology. A Â£10 CD is way better than an Â£8 download from i-Tunes. When my computer crashes, my files are all over the place or someone steals my laptop, I can kick back in the knowledge that I have the original real deal lying there looking spendid on my bookcase. Lots of the CDs I buy are for a fiver too.

If we must start buying music online, can they drop MP3 or give me the option of lossless formats like APE? I wish.

To limit the expression of an artist.

So now,We don’t get artwork with our music,we get a bloody jpeg.

And the majors WANT this badly.It’s practically 0$ in overhead for them,

And nothing but profit.

Like I care about them anyway..

[...] Según dijo, y traduzco libremente desde TorrentFreak: Las compañías de discos no podrán sacar al mercado CDs sin “material de valor añadido”, y tendrán que hacer de ellos una compra más atractiva de cara al cliente. “Tenemos que ser mucho más innovadores en el modo en que vendemos algo físico”.

I disagree, CD is not dead. I really like buying a CD, the object is pleasant. But spending 20â‚¬ on a cd hurts. So I download. That’s as simple as that, but I’d more cds if they were better, like if there were all the lyrics, nice pictures of the band…

Yeah, I stopped buying them when they stopped playing too. At one point, I bougth 14 cd’s at HMV, and had to return 9 of them. They’re also overpriced. They should be under $10 for anything. Not just top-40 JUNK. Level the playing field, make every cd the same price. Why is soemthing that just came out $12 when Nancy Sinatra’s Boots is $30+ ?

EMI CD’s surely are dead since they’re not even CD’s anymore. They have copy protection so they don’t conform to the CD standard and can’t contain the CD logo. This is especially dumb since no DRM scheme has ever stopped anything from appearing on file sharing networks but it does prevent me from using their CD’s in my Linux computer. No wonder they think CD’s are dead. I just hope they follow the same fate.

We do like to own solid things. Heck, we invent solid things to represent achievments, such as trophies, certificates and suchlike. There is definitly a psychological component to be able to hold what you own.

Places like TrackSpin.com and the many other DRM free music stores are not helping either
