Where have all the CD's gone?

I went into a high street branch of a large retailer recently, for the first time in ages. To my great suprise there were hardly any CD's in the racks! :shock:
The store seemed to be mainly full of DVD's, T shirts and other entertainment related paraphernalia, but very little music. Have people stopped making music or have punters stopped buying whole albums? :?

I still buy CDs, I have a good system to play them on. (I do have Vinyl too but it's not as good as a good CD Player IMO). When I play lossless digital on it it sounds lifeless compared to the CD. As for MP3/AAC :shock: That said, I do have an iPod and it certainly has it's place.
I get them on line mostly using this price comparison website-

...hmmm, CD's vs. Vinyl... ...Transistors vs. Valves... ...Campag vs. Shimano
...agreed with mp3's - okay for a train journey though.

I can't help any further as to where all the CDs have gone but if anyone's seen my Hawkwind compilation I'd be very grateful - not seen it for well over a year... I suspect my missus has hidden it (or possibly the taste police have paid a visit).0

Well, that use may account for the Abba and Take That Cd's...
...and S Club 7 are known for their aerodynamic properties, so that's a few Frisbee's too...
...but what about the rest??? :shock:Cycling weakly0 -

A bit of an aside, but I used to play "silver machine" over and over on my ipod when I first got my bike and was out riding....... 0 -

That may have been acceptable in 1972 with a Dancette strapped to your pannier rack. Cycling weakly0 -
