"First of all, CD, Albums etc., are done, over, gone, finished."

They certainly aren't as far as our music is concerned. There's always CDs for sale by visiting guests at folk clubs and usually at most of the concerts I attend.

Of course, there's not much money in it now for the artists although I'm sure they get a bigger return from CD etc sales at gigs than they will from streaming sites etc.

I also convert my music to MP3 but it's still good to retain the original "hard copy". I've also got several hundred CDs, vinyl, cassettes, mini disc recordings with which i have no intention of parting. It's too big a job to transfer all of them to MP3s but many are now available to "stream" and I can still convert whichever albums I want as and when I need to do so.
