It’s not obsolete until they come up with something better, and there isn’t anything. Can’t find a player? Good chance they’ll have some older, still working units as well. You will usually find hundreds of CD’s, and they keep putting out new ones every day, because- they still sell every day! Enough to be worth their trouble. If you doubt the demand for CD’s, go to any large thrift store. And anyone with a decent ear can tell CD’s still sound substantially superior to streaming except for HiRes, which costs even a good deal more. Also, if you use your service or not, you are paying every month forever. Companies can go out of existence without warning, there are no guarantees. You don’t have to worry about streaming services ever “deleting” your music or “scrubbing” their files because not enough people ordered your favorite albums, or in other cases I’ve heard of where huge amounts of personal files stored online, years worth, were accidentally “swiped clean”, never to be recovered. Once you own a CD, it’s yours virtually forever. But what about streaming? Well, here again, Henke suggests the energy consumption used in streaming is also problematic. Manufacturing vinyl records, transporting them and (as YouTuber Benn Jordan shows below) even playing them, can pose significant ecological issues. Sustainability and ecological considerations are his main grounds for reconsidering compact disc. However, just as many of us are putting our CDs in the loft or donating them to charity shops, Henke believes we should be returning to the format.
32 LIVES ABLETON FULL
But what if you want to own a physical artefact? Something special to place in your cabinet and enjoy? Well, many of us now have a developing vinyl collection the vinyl revival has been in full swing for some time. Undoubtedly, nowadays most of us consume our music via streaming services.

But is his point valid? Streaming and the Vinyl Revival In a public post on his Facebook page, he’s called for a return to Compact Disc citing grounds of audio quality and ecological considerations. If you're running into issues, contact jBridge or 32 Lives support. Note: Ableton Support does not provide any technical support for issues using converted plug-ins. If you wish to continue using 32 Lives, please continue to do so on macOS Mojave.
32 LIVES ABLETON CODE
If you haven’t heard of Henke, he was one of the original team that developed Ableton Live in the late 1990s he is still actively producing and releasing music to this day. 32 Lives uses 32-bit code which is not compatible with macOS Catalina.

Well, a guy called Robert Henke thinks you should still care about good old CD. 40 years on though, should we still care about this increasingly obsolete music format?

A format that promised “perfect sound forever” and the first digital music medium to be mass adopted across the world. Ahhh, the Compact Disc, the darling music format of the 1980s.
