Cd's still have life in them... There will be a continous stream of improved versions of cd's. But it will be a long time before they are compleatly antiquated.

I-pods arnt really going to antiquate the cd...

What may antiquate the cd in the near future is the ability to purchase entire cd's online for a cheaper price due to less manufacturing costs. Eventually there will be stations where someone can go to, wirelessly connect with a hand held personal pc and seemlessly download entire cd's right out of a wall unit at an automatic charge.

This technology is already being developed, but it is still in its infancy.

But even this wont fully antiquate the cd... As the cd is a hard copy storage medium. The best hard copy storage medium man kind has in common use currantly..

It wont be going anywhere any time soon.

And remember also that cd's arnt only used for music.
