Bye Bye C.D.

David Sanderson
News Card #3
Death of an inovation that rocked the world?

The CD a format which was first seen commercialy released in october 1982 and seen to be the obvious replacement for vinyl it seems now finds itself unsure of it's future. C.D player and C.D manufacturer Linn will halt production of their C.D. line in the new year as they see the public have become more focused on the medium of M.P.3's and downloading. Gilad Tiefenbrun the managing director of Linn said "our customers have fast recognised the limitations of C.D. players and now want more and better control of their music and where they can play it". Linn will however continue to produce the turn-table, could this mean that our beloved vinyl will out live it's younger brother the C.D., let's hope so. So could one manufacturers decision to halt their production herald the end of the C.D. well will will just have to wait and see.
