Sad, as it will be his generations doing when CD's finally are phased out. MP3's have their place like when going out on a jog, or to the gym using headphones, but when I'm home, I play music on my sound system. If you can't hear the difference between an MP3 and a CD, you need to get your hearing checked ASAP.  Luckily for me, I own most everything I already want on CD anyways. I'll also hold onto my vinyl collection.
On a side note, we are going to have a lot of hard of hearing people in the future. I can hear some peoples music on their headphones from quite far away. Dumb asses. |
While I whole-heartedly agree, no one really uses MP3 files anymore. They've moved to better codecs, though most still aren't lossless unless you specifically rip them from a CD that way. And of course, most downloads aren't, of course.
