Luddite Comes in From the Cold

Today I finally -- finally! -- bought a cable that would allow me to feed iTunes into my home component stereo system. It sounds terrific. Honestly -- if there's a difference in sound between what I'm hearing now and a CD, then either my speakers aren't capable of projecting the difference, or my ears aren't capable of discerning it.

Three questions:
  1. Does anyone seriously complain about the quality of a good AAC or MP3 file anymore?
  2. How can plastic CD sales survive in this environment?
  3. How long before CD players are like phonographs -- in the back of the electronic stores, on the bottom shelf?
Presently playing: "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones.
