I just read the topic about replacing books by e books and now this one... cds by mp3 downloads... the world is changing!
I sincerely don't use cds nowadays.. I love the format, the artwork but when it comes to hear music I prefer to play it from my computer and it's easier to open an mp3 file than putting a cd on the player. -------------------- My lessons

I doubt that they will soon realize that, but let us wait, time will tell

Have to say that the article looks more like journalistic speculation than anything. It's very noticeable that it lacks any quotes from anyone at a major label.
If (and I think it's a big if) it's right then digital download (re)distribution needs a common platform with industry standards akin to Redbook for CDA. That means a much better audio quality format than mp3 and other lossy formats and one that can carry fully enbedded ISRC and DRM. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Wise words from Tony, I agree. Never thought of some of the important things that should be set before making this happen. I hope major labels are thinking about this. CDs are really becoming impractical.
