It is extraordinarily unlikely that the capability to read either CDs or play any format of audio file will simply disappear. Look at all prior formats. It's not a problem to find equipment to play 78s or even Edison rolls. Now you may not have the convenience of strolling into Best Buy and have a choice of a hundred different new players to choose from, but the thought of digital music becoming unplayable in my lifetime just isn't a concern. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93111 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
