CDs...will they become extinct? - Page 2

I hope there will always be a tangible counterpart to the mp3 format.
The problem I see is intertwined with the concept of "cloud computing"
whereas there is no physical hard copy of the media, but on some
storage server elsewhere. The part I don't like about this I can see a
per-usage fee structure someday. If you have a physical copy of the
music/media in your hand, it's yours to own and listen to it as much as
you like and for how long.

The mp3 format is fine, but it does have limitations as it removes certain
sections of the audio frequency spectrum. I notice this phenomenon especially
with strings/synth strings. They seem hard to reproduce once they've been compressed.

I agree. Aren't there already albums who are only aviable digital? I know there are already such singles, and that has existed for years, but would like to know about albums?
