R.I.P. CD

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that CD sales plummeted in 2008 (subscription required). This isn't really a surprise, but it made me realize something. I can't remember the last time I purchased a CD. I'm certain I must have bought one in 2008, but I can't tell you what it was. I am certain, however, that I won't buy a CD in 2009.

Is anybody out there still buying CDs? Or is the digital revolution, as it pertains to music sales, complete?

  1. I can think of one spectacular CD purchase you made in 2008; Clash On Broadway...one of the greatest b-gifts on the planet!

  2. Yeah, but that was a gift. I can't remember the last CD I bought for myself. It's so much easier (and cheaper) to jsut listen the album online and pick the songs you like.
