I don’t do ipod.
I like my CDs.
Each to his own, of course, but I have no interest in downloading to my computer, MP3s, or flash drives.
But if CDs are a dying media, I suppose I had better purchase the titles I want before they pull the plug.
There are millions of CD’s out there. My kids have gazillions it seems. Now they have MP3 and the bonanza of getting married and integrating the spouses CD’s into the hoard has lost its luster.
With kids running around, storage is a problem
The market will be flooded with unwanted CD’s
I wouldn't worry about it. As people rip everything they own, they'll probably sell the physical discs on Ebay or garage sale them. Plus you can always download whatever songs you want and burn your own compilations to CD. That way, you don't get two good songs followed by 15 tracks of unmarketable dreck.
