End of CDs?

[Paul Childs]

There is a rumor going around that major record companies will be discontinuing CDs by the end of 2012 and will only have downloads!
I hope this isn't true! There are a lot of people who haven't the knowledge or ablity to use a computer so they will have to suffer.
It has taken me years to build up my collection of CDs

Interesting. I popped into a branch of a well known music chain on Sunday and noticed that they had changed all their display areas. Where the CDs once were, there are now DVDs and Blue Ray. The CDs, a lot less than before, were tucked away at the back of the store. Sad times ahead if this is true. I have an iPod full of my music, but I play it through a Bose system and not headphones. I still prefer CDs, especially in the car.

You can't get the needles for CDs anymore.

I tried them on my record deck and they sounded terrible - went back to vinyl!

Hi all
I'm one who never left vinyl. The only way to listen to high quality Shadows music at home, or any other music.
Regards Geoff.
