Music Banter - View Single Post - Do you think CDs will be the last physical form of music?

For me it's way more convenient to have access to a hard drive with 1000s of albums instead of a CD with 1 (or 10 if they're in MP3). Even a stick you can get 8GB reusable storage for under $10 instead of 700MB of single use on a CD.

Still I guess this is avoiding the question of whether CDs will be the last physical form of music. I guess if you are talking about the paradigm of walking into a store and purchasing an album then maybe CDs will be the last form. I imagine maybe you could go into a store and transfer files directly onto a portable music device which kind of gets away from the physical form. So maybe that's a yes on CDs being the last.
