двигатель прогресса не остановить:
Sony will be closing down one of the company’s largest CD manufacturing plants, located in Pitman, New Jersey, on March 31st, 2011. The company will be closing the doors for the final time after 50 years of being in business, where the plant originally manufactured vinyl records.
<...>
The plant itself is half-a-million square feet, and at full capacity was able to turn out over 18 million CDS every month. CD sales dropped 18 percent between 2008 and 2009, while vinyl record sales have actually climbed 33 percent in the same time frame.
теоретически, конечно, есть еще DVD-Audio и даже Blu–ray, но фактически на CD все и закончится. а я[1] так до сих пор и не купил себе пару бобин на сладкое.
