I am not sure where we are headed with the little CD disks but I won't surprised if both CDs and printed books mostly go by the wayside in favor of digital distribution. I will not be entirely happy about it, and will lament the loss of the book in my hand, I think more than the CD in my basement.

My group is finishing a recording and we've decided to go mainly digital to try that out. The one reason we discussed for doing a small run of CDs was for merchandise sales at concerts, but we've come across a neat way to have something people can walk away with without producing the CDs.

They are digital gift cards for our web-site and allow digital retrieval using the printed key info.

Then, and this part is neat I think, they are bio-degradable paper and contain wild flower seeds.... so you plant it and it grows something.

I was a long holdout wanting CDs for full-quality listening, but the newer HQ MP3s sound great anyway and I usually listen on my iPod Vs. my home theatre speakers.

I retired from IT and Sales Reporting Management from a print distribution business, and they are really hurting in the core products, have been through bankruptcy, and are scrambling to establish a digital business to replace the print one before its too late.
