Mp3 players replace CDs

CD Connected to an Mp3



In today's world MP3 players are the fastest and easiest way to listen to music, they are very light and are easy to carry around especially those who are on the go. However, MP3 players are substantially cheaper than CD players with advanced error-correction and anti-shock features. With so many options, it can be tough to know what MP3 players are worth shelling out the cash for - especially if you're working on a budget. The cameras and MP3 players are fun, but the next wave of add-ons for cell phones and laptops may help users keep track of their health. Technology has progressed to so much that the hard drive MP3 players are now reaching the 100GB mark. The players with flash that are released have more memory and are on the rise. Most of the headphones that ship with MP3 players are mediocre at best. MP3 players are increasingly replacing traditional CD players there.


Questions

1. What is the percentage of people that still use CD players
2. what is the next wave of technology coming our way
3.  why cant CD's store up to a 100GB

    1. there is no concrete percentage, however, certain people enjoy that cds can support a much higher quality than mp3 players. (very high bit rate)
    2. Making products more personal to support our needs in terms of health and usage.
    3. A CD is limited by its physical characteristics to hold 700 mb, certain ones a bit more.

    1. According to CNET (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13526_3-10389788-27.html), 37% of Americans listen to CD.
    2. Most probably scientific technologies in which would cure diseases that have could not been cured in the past.
    3. A CD is physically not big enough but does not also have enough capacity like huge hard drives to fit in.
