The end of compact discs and satellite radio?

For me, yes. I just completed burning almost all of my music compact discs. I now have 20GB of music on my external HDD. I am planning to sell my cd collection. Many of the cases are cracked or broken, just another reason why cd's suck. I am a bit worried that I will lose all of my music when this ext hdd kicks the bucket. Ah, well.

Satellite radio could be on the death watch soon. Never mind the debt amassed by Siruis Satellite, or the stock price (SIRI), now that you can stream radio to youro mobile device via apps from pandora, slacker, last.fm,imeem, and others, there is no need to pay $15 or more each month for music with commercials. Instead, I listen to exactly the music I want, skipping what I don't like and it's free.
