The CD vs. MP3 quality is not a factor any longer on the decision making for which one to use. As of now, there are CD's on the market that cannot be played by a PC, which means you will not be able to rip them. This is the route that all the music labels will be taking in the near future. A work around for this was actually to take a black marker (thin one) and run it over the silver looking ring on the CD.
Anyhow, it seems to be that the future of digital music is growing thin. They are trying to put a lock on music duplication as well as movies. A good source for this is the
Electronic Frontier Foundation. Before you go throwing out your CD player, look into this site. You may change your mind.
