Time to throw away your cds?

"It was 20 years ago today" ... well actually it was 25 years ago that CDs were launched as an alternative to LPs and cassettes. 70-odd minutes of crisp (if not perfect) digital sound on one CD of 700MB. Now we can get ten times the content on that same CD, at 'near CD' quality. As CDs are migrating to iPods and MP3 players, dedicated 'music centres' are giving way to media centres that store and play audio and video libraries of unimaginable size. Forget a jukebox of 100 singles, we can now store and easily retrieve tens of thousands of songs. But what of the CD collection? Is that destined to go the same way as that stack of LPs?
