I personally don't believe in CDs. I think they are a flawed format and they are entirely obsolete for my purposes. I collect vinyls of albums I really love, and the rest of my music library is digital. I don't see where CDs come in. Even my car can play off of my mp3 player, and in the worst case scenario I would just burn a CD. But to part with my hard earned for that flimsy plastic case with its (comparatively) tiny album art and booklet, no thanks. Never even seeing the CD while its playing, and being able to easily skip or fast forward by pressing a button. It's no more engaging than a media player on a computer and it's entirely less engaging than a vinyl. It feels inadequate and it is for me. No offense of course to CD collectors, this is a mere personal opinion, but for my money, the future is digital. Vinyls do have the great packaging and big artwork. And the whole act of putting it on the turnable and watching the needle....and having to turn it over every 20 minutes or so. It's so much more intimate than a laser disc. And a laser disc isn't any more convenient than a digital library. I'm just not seeing why. Also I think I'm rambling now, so I'll stop.
