8 Bit Guy is very cool.

I'm saddened to hear the CD called a "retro format". Next you'll tell me the DVD is not the cool new thing from the future :(

(Seriously though, I have a hard time dealing with people calling the CD retro. To me not even the audio tape is really old... I grew up listening to music on tapes, the CD was the new thing!)

I guess I'd say CD is and isn't retro. It's looking close to being the ultimate physical digital medium for music, with vinyl being the ultimate analog medium. It's really only retro in the sense that there isn't much reason to keep physical copies.

It contains the uncompressed original audio stream! Where else can you get that?
