Some almost famous person said, its all over but the screaming, kicking. CD is done. Get over it. It does not even matter any more if it is good sound or not. Only one CD drive maker exists. No spare parts for the other drives exist.

"In January of 2018, Best Buy announced that they will stop selling CDs, and Target may be following suit. With the rise of smart phones that can hold thousands of songs, CDs have gone the way of audio cassettes and 8-tracks and have become obsolete."

Its IOT now. Downloads. High density cheap storage of music files. Wireless. Voice commands. etal. Dont want it? Dont need it? Then, invest in your last new CD player so you can keep playing 16/44 CD's for a few years longer.

LP's? What's that?

Open your eyes.

Can't say I'd ever buy another LP, but they are far from dead just based on this one link. One thing I'd bet on, is that the LP will out live you.
Got to laugh at people downloading high res music and playing it on a crappy phone, does not mean the world is getting any smarter, imo just more sheep in the line up, with nose firmly up the a$$ of the one in front of them.
I do not even like talking to people who I know are on the other end with a cell phone, 32 bit processor, ??MFLOPS to reproduce almost unintelligible speech, let alone music and you call that progress = wow

What? You still buy Intel, when AMD now can made better processor and still cheaper? You are rich.

He probably bought it more than a year ago... I am sure you know that Core i7 is a meaningless name and represents everything from a year 2009 quad core desktop CPU, to a 6-core mobile CPU, to an 8-core workstation CPU. There have been at least 100 different CPUs sold as Core i7 in the past 11 years.

AMD only took performance leadership with Zen 2 (Matisse) last year.

Typical post from you, though.

I had 3 of those. They lasted few months each.

I have an LG one that is 5 years old. Small sample size.
