yes i brought up this point recently on both this group and on a folk list. i got a few weird answers and some really good ones. but generally, i agree, the cd format is slowly dying.
for the near future, we're going to have to keep making cds *and* doing digital. we got into a discussion here in LJ about duplicated vs replicated, doing shorter ruins of cds instead of 1000, etc. prices of replication have mercifully come down of late, so at least doing a reprint of another 1000 isn't going to break my bank (especially if i end up having to reprint 2 projects at the same time), though it will still jam my garage full of boxes for a while!
