At least let the CD die with some dignity!

"The commercial debut of the compact disc was not publicly applauded as it turned 40. There was no ticker tape parade" - MBW writes on the CD's 40th anniversary. "The CD is being allowed – encouraged, even – to atrophy. There is no hipsterised rebirth being planned for it like with the cassette... This format made you as a fan. It built the business you operate in today (for good and for ill). You would not be doing what you do today without it. The least you can do is give it a decent eulogy so that it can roll off into the sunset with at least some dignity".
