I don't understand why would it not be possible to distribute high quality music online. Very much possible. Like Gops said we should change with time. This is even an very acceptable and progressive change. I don't see a value in having anything physical, if a digital equivalent can save resources, decrease cost, increase quality and distribution access and eventually give more power to the artist than the distributors. Similar trend is happening in the publishing business which is far more disruptive with Kindle-only books getting releases. At least there people have legitimate reasons to crib saying that Kindle will be another strain on eyes. But look at the potential upside in the trees saved and hence the costs.
'Nostalgia" has relative value. Ancient sites are guarded vigorously in Western societies while in India we spit on them. This is a different dimension. We might destroy something old and build new and 500 years later the new would have been old. To quote Gita - Chnage is the only constant. But it is up to us maximise the value of change to maximum people. If we think rationally, what we enjoy is music not CDs. I whole heartedly welcome this change.
