[QUOTE="Tzs503gp, post: 1129284, member: 19443"] Its not that they intentionally tried to rip people off by bringing the CD to the market. Yes, they knew that ultimately music would be stored on a chip and that CD was temporary. They knew that during the time of cassette tape. Problem was that solid state hardware and storage was physically huge and stupidly expensive. The CD was a cheap and “compact” way to store data, and the hardware to extract that data was affordable enough for consumer grade gear. [/QUOTE]
