CD Audio

There is one manufacture and this is Marantz that seems to have faith in the CD they still seem to bring out a new player once a year, I have noticed a few bring out transport only players. But one big thing I have noticed is a few manufactures are making a CD player and streamer in one box. May be this is the way forward, I don't know. Me (a dinosaur) and people like me will always like to have a hard copy of their music and I think there will always be people  that will still like to collect and look at their collection in the future.

yes they do take up a lot of space and with the vinyl too it's a LOT and  then there is my DVD, Blu-ray and book collection. Lets just put it this way if I had a big disposable income I would need another room to put my collection in. So I suppose with digital audio this is the only way some people can have a big collection of music, All stored on a hard drive or such. I wonder how in a 100 years time people will look back at CDs and what they will say? (what a waste of space)

Do any of you clean their CDs. I used to have a CD cleaner years ago so long ago I can't remember when, It was hand operated you turned an handle around, that's about all I remember of it. Now I only clean CDs that wont play or jump and I do it with a damp (water) cloth (it's not vary often) I can't remember hearing any difference after cleaning that's probably why I got rid of it or just throw it out. I always handle by the edges so never touch the playing surface.
