CD will quite possibly die, not because of what people at this site think, but for what others think.
I'd not 'done' streaming until recently. But I'm on Amazon Prime, so Amazon Unlimited was £7.99 a month.
The kids (8 & 10) will doubtless grow up with streaming as the de facto way of listening to music, whether I like it or not, so there you go.
As younger people grow older, and the rest of us disappear into the great unknown, it's probably one-way traffic, vinyl-revival-esque situations notwithstanding.
And part of me doesn't care. It's not happening tomorrow, and almost certainly not this week. My CDs are going nowhere, nor are my lossless rips. I don't but as much music as I used to, largely because I'm an old git.
I should be good for a while yet, and by the time I go through the CD menopause I'll probably be a lot more used to streaming than I am now.
Bizarrely, the biggest problem with streaming is the lack of convenience. I'm limited on how easily I organise my music (playlist are far more difficult to create), and annoyingly I can't get everything I want. Some of my favourite CDs are not available to steam. And whilst I can get the streams on my phone, I can't on my DAP.
I trust this will 'all come out in the wash' as they say, but I'll continue to have my doubts until they do.
When I can listen to whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I want, on my FiiO (okay, I'll have to buy a new player), I'll be happy. If it's all in lossless any argument will be over.
