In the time of cd players, you could go to the store, buy a cd, pop it in and play it. This has always been the same with tapes, records, etc. But now people are getting rid of cd players and going for ipods and other mp3 players. This means that when people buy a cd they have to rip it, then transfer the files to the mp3 player, unless they buy online. Cd's are getting more and more obsolete every day. So the question is, what will bands put they're albums out on in the future? Most mp3 players with removable storage have sd cards. Will these be where you put in your favorite artists latest album someday.
Right now, cds are 700mb, and .cda tracks usually take up most of the cd.
SD cards go up to a couple gigs.
If music was put on a sd card, it would be in mp3 format, and this would take up a lot less.
Do you think sd or a similar card is going to be the future cd?

Will SD ever replace CD?
