[QUOTE="allan320, post: 1129218, member: 25559"] The CD story has an odd place in the history of recorded music. In the mid-70’s some 6-7 years before CD players became the new norm, I was living in UK and great friends with the owner of an excellent HIFI store in Guildford. On a visit one day he talked about a future he had glimpsed in which TV’s would hang on our walls like pictures and the whole of Beethoven’s symphonies would be stored and played from a chip! I think it was some trade show he had seen…. So, the question niggling me is did Philips and Sony bring the CD to market knowing it might have a consumer life of about 20 years before digital storage media would take over? If the aim was to relieve music-lovers of several billion pounds/dollars of hard-earned cash, they succeeded! It may sound cynical but just ponder what the boffins would have known about the digital future long before we did….. [/QUOTE]
