I know that all indications are that the CD is on its way out. This saddens me because I have LOVED what I call the Re-issue Era, in which soooooo much material from the 60s and 70s has become available on CD. So I have a two-part question.

1) For artists who are currently still recording, when do we think they will stop releasing studio albums and CDs? I was encouraged to ask this question today because I was web-surfing and learned that one of my "regulars" does have a new CD listed as coming out in January.

2) If current music does cease to be released on CD at whatever point that it may happen, will that impact the re-issue market as well or will there still be demand for some of our old favorites that have not yet been released on CD?
