I kinda buy it. We're holding on to CD's mostly for nostolgia and legacy of the players we've all bought. CD players will not disappear, just as tape players haven't, but in order for the music industry to compete with P2P, they've got to cut the costs of manufacturing, storing, and distributing their product out of their price. Otherwise, they will not ever be able to cut costs enough to compete. In the end, after fighting it for years, they're gonna force it on us. DRM is gonna have to be figured out into some sort of working model because the whole world can't go on swapping mp3's for free forever. I just hope that they improve the sound quality.
