Well its almost 2009 (well shortly) and how many people do you know that have offloaded all their CDs and are fully online only? Even for SqueezeBods we have CDs as a security/backup for when our libraries die. > > I'm not claiming that plastic disks will go away by the end of this > week.

I agree on the movie front, but then only because 99% of movies are designed to be viewed once and thrown away, whereas with music its more tactile, well for me anyway. I always buy the disc and then rip, not the other way around, but then maybe I'm getting old :S -- cparker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cparker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2083 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43609
