CD's are plastic. Destined to go obsolete anyway. Although can take a few years.
Digital downloads, FTW!

FLAC is not as good as wave for me because I'm a purist when it comes to sound.

I know all that. I choose on purpose to keep my audio data uncompressed where possible.

^^ lol.

FLAC FTW!!! When it comes to pure sound via 5.1/7.1 speaker set, nothing, I repeat nothing can beat FLAC. @extremegamer: Listen to same music in different format, and you can 'feel' the difference.

On topic: Its a really bad move.
