I don't think CDs going away and sound quality are related, though, because lossless digital files sound exactly like the CD, and high bit-rate mp3s sound the same to everyone except those with super-sensitive hearing (and I would wager even they would fail a double-blind test).

I had tons of CDs and records and everything, because I consider myself a music nerd and that's what you do.  But then I realized that I just never had this great love for the physical media thing.  Not knocking it for those who do, but there is this insistence amongst some that they go hand-in-hand (so to speak).
