Well worth your time to read it.
Electronic termites are chomping out the support beams of our music culture, whether we're prepared or not.
The termite is the MP3 player, led by the iPod -- Apple's handheld jukebox capable of storing the equivalent of 1,000 CDs, or 10,000 or more songs -- that's stashed in your front pocket.
That's right. Those hundreds of CDs you've been hoarding since the '80s, for which you've spent huge sums for stereos, entertainment centers and decorative CD racks, are going the way of reel-to-reel, 78s and eight-tracks.
Eight-what? Exactly. The CD, as a mass-produced physical entity, is dying.
Thanks to the Pho mailing list for the tip.
