Nothing much to say about the above, except the first paragraph is a bit doofusy in its assertion that Coldplay giving ticketholders a free CD at their concerts this year is another chapter in "the end of the CD as we know it."
The physical CD will end if (and only if) the music industry wants it to end--as occurred with the vinyl record, the 8-track cartridge and the audiocassette.
At this time, I'm guessing that record labels are still making some $$$$ from CDs--even if they'll be primarily sold online in the near future.
