> CDs? Maybe to a large degree, but one high-end jazz group I know of just released a new album strictly on CD, because they don't feel that digital distribution options offer enough sound quality.
CD is digital distribution. I grab the CD, copy the bits onto my computer, and place my drink on it and listen to the music.

Coasters and Frisbees
Fish lures for deep seas
Mobiles for infants
They make great Christmas tree ornaments
Bring the whole family,
parking is free
You're going to love
our selection
of 8-track tapes,
Blank floppy discs,
mobile car phones,
Atari 2600 consoles
Guard rail reflectors
Hold 'em hand protectors
Halloween handouts
We got a ten-thousand foot warehouse
Full of cassette tapes,
Persimmon woods,
Ink jet printers,
telephone booths,
Sony Walkman's,
Kodak 110's,
Analog TV's,
Betamax's
And 10 million CD's
- billybob 17y agoI still buy CDs, even though I rip them immediately. Why? 1) I like getting booklets with lyrics 2) I can re-rip anytime with higher quality or a different format 3) The CD gets stored safely as a backup If all digital music were sold in a lossless, DRM-free format, and included excellent digital booklets, and I had an easy and good backup strategy, I guess I'd stop buying CDs. But that day hasn't quite arrived for me.
