So like, a little birdy told me that soonish CD's are going to be a thing of the past. All this bitching from the music companies is going to be worthless. Basically, mp3s will take over.

What do you think about this? Are you going to miss buying CRAB?

I sure am. I love the feeling of seeing the album + artwork, as well as the music. But I suppose I could live without them...*cries*
 
I remeraber this same situation when vinyl changed to cd's.
People said cd's would never replace vinyl, that it would never happen.
It did and along with the disappearence of vinyl went the traditional album sleeve artwork.

mp3's will replace cd's, which in turn probably be replaced in time by another format.
 
actually..the format that iPod uses is mp4. so your grandad was partially right.

personally...i think that as soon as everyone switches from cd's to mp3....there will be another format that runs at a higher compression rate and the mp3 player will be outdated.
 
I laughed at my grandad the other day, he was saying "oh yeah, mp4's are gonna be takin over soon I hear". I was like, "Erm, its mp3, grandad" and then it turned out he was right all along. I felt well stupid.

Anyway, point is, things change all the time. I still love my cRAB, except I never really have the money to buy the original anymore. I either copy my music off someone else or download it, but either way I still burn it onto a cd somewhere, I cant cope with not having it in physical form. Im paranoid the computer will implode one day or summat and Ill lose all my music, so yeah, I burn it all anyway. CRAB wont be replaced with me :)
 
Mp3's may take over. But it will take a good few more years. Vinyls enevr were completly replaced. They still exist, people still tarde/buy/sell an dlisten to them. CD's will be the same. Poeple growin gup in the Cd age will keep them as artifects from an older day. Plus I don't know if Mp3's will take over. For one, peopel liek material thinsg eg CD's. People want something they can hold, feel. People like big stacks of thing to show that they have more than anyone else.
 
yeah if mp3's do take over i doubt we would see the end of cover art and such. im sure that mp3 such and suches would be put out with little cases and booklets inside. otherwis how else would you be able to see what tracks are on the mp3's before you buy them?
 
It don't matter to me, really. I have an Ipod...(which is almost the same as an Mp3 for those of you who don't know.) and all the Cd's I have I can put on there...but I will miss some of the kick-arse cover art.

EDIT: Plus, y'know, DL's...
 
well even if cd's are done with, they will come out with another tangible format to sell music, or else record companies would be TOTALLY boned. i dont think we'll see them on the out for quite a few years though.
 
It'll catch on. Things move fast. In a couple of months, no one will be using mp3 players but me and mp4 players will be everywhere.
