Hopefully CD players have finally caught up with the market saturation of vinyl! Many of music's fans were left behind when "big retail" decided they no longer wanted to stock vinyl and then refused to discount CDs.

It's interesting that the audiophile community now think files "ripped" from their CDs sound better than using a CD "transport." I suspect there's a significant market for higher than CD quality files out there.
