Dad what's an 8 track?

How long til we lose CD's all together? I just got a new CD and with the current state of technology you don't really spend much time with an actual CD at all. I just pop it in and my favorite mp3 manager rips it without blinking and next time it sees my player it'll get copied to it and then it's in the car and yada yada yada...

I hate DRM. I realize I'm late to this anti-love fest. That being said yes if I want just one track I'll buy it that way, but still then I can't play it anywhere but ... again late to that hate fest so there isn't any reason to go through it here.

Obviously the record companies want you to buy the CD. Either that or they don't and just don't know how to stop that revenue stream.

I like having the CD. When will they take that away from me? When? I'm waiting for the shoe to drop.
