Not surprised by the drastic decline in cd sales, its a sign of the times, which sucks for someone like me who owns 1000's of cd's and who would like to continue to build his collection in that direction. I'm not about to dump all the cd's I have collected for over 20 years and convert them to downloads/files. God knows, in a couple of years, downloads/files will be obsolete and there will be something even more spiffy and convenient coming our way. Thus, in sum, I feel kinda feel screwed as a cd buyer.
