In short, yes and no. Do i think album is all but dead? Yes.
Do i think CD's will go away as a medium completely? Nah, not
for awhile anyway; some people still like to hold a product in
their hands.
What bothers me the most about this trend, however, is the fact
that music has become just another low-end commodity, worth
anywhere from nothing, to a buck; depending on the perception
of who it is you're asking.

What also bothers me about the online music thing, as well as the
online video thing, is that we are developing an entire generation of
consumers who accept 128k mp3's as hi-fidelity. Same thing with
online video and most dvd's. Unreasonable mpeg compression, chunky
artifacts, sections of background that drag along and just jump....
And yet all I hear at the local Best Buy is people raving about the
image on the new hi-def tv's when compression artifacts are plainly
visible.
They're just all being trained to accept crappy,
super-high-compression content as "pure digital quality."
Gives a really bad name to digital.
pab, curmudgeon-in-training.
