The Death of the Music CD

Posted by Zonk on from the ding-dong-the-witch-is-dead dept.

Rick Zeman writes "According to the Washington Post, the next new music format will be...no format. From the article: 'What the consumer would buy is a data file, and you could create whatever you need. If you want to make an MP3, you make an MP3. If you want a DVD-Audio surround disc, you make that.'"

    Washington Post: Hello!
    Year 2000: Hello Washington Post! We'd like our story back!

    Really this is not news. Maybe a couple of years ago this would have been front page material but I guess its a Sunday and that excuses the posting of "News for Ners that just woke up out of a five year coma. Stuff that matters five years previously."

    I guess I can let most of your troll stand, except to say don't tell me about my enjoyment of my entertainment. You aren't me, your standards and opinions don't apply to what goes on in my head.

    Of course, the suckerass mods gave you an interesting, but that's fine since you're AC anyway.
