I guess I just never liked the CD format, and won´t miss it one bit. It´s a shame I have so many CDs that at some point in the future can´t be played anymore, as a consequence of CD players not being produced anymore, but in the great Whole I don´t see it as a huge issue. But on the other hand I´ve actually started purchasing CD players and storing them, to make sure I have something to play my CDs on when my current machine dies

Well, you can't stick many of the modern digital formats on a shelf to show off your collection.

No, they don´t have the charm of vinyls, and are too similar to more modern digital formats to compete.

Hell I don't have enough CD's to begin w/ so I certainly hope they'll be around long enough! I plan on exponentially expanding my collection starting next year.

I could see them making a 'comeback' like vinyl did years from now. I personally prefer CD's to any other media of music, as they are more portable and easy to get onto a computer. I will buy cassettes and vinyl if I seem them cheap though, and vinyl does have bigger cover artwork.

Probably never to the extent of their glory days simply because you can rip them to a hard drive at full resolution and share with your friends. I do however spend way too much cash on CdS because I want a physical back up as well as the artwork and liner notes. Unfortunately many lesser music lovers don't give a rat's ass about quality

I don't think they'll disappear. It's good they are now a lot cheaper in real and relative terms than ever. It's probably because of when I grew up, but I prefer CD to vinyl and tape. They are more convenient, and there are disc players everywhere.
Saying that though, my younger brother has no disc player of any sort- CD, DVD or even in his computers. Reckons he doesn't need them. He's got high speed broadband though, which helps a lot. Mine is powered by hamster wheel...

I was just thinking with the resurgence of vinyl and even the cassette to an extent over recent years if Cd's will ever gain favour again. Okay, they still sell in relatively large quantities but not compared to what they sold in the past. The media will have you believe they're dead which is complete tosh in my opinion as there's always going to be some who want a hard copy, myself included and the sound quality is superior to MP3.
I think this is the first year since the 80's I've bought more on vinyl than Cd but I haven't given up on them yet. So what do you think? Is a vinyl like resurgence awaiting them in the future?
