the hardware of choice is something like an AppleTV that gets its data stream
from a computer server, i.e. iTunes. At least that's the scenario for the
average techno-phile user without a huge budget. The luddites still have CD
players, but they are going to die out just like the Vinyl and 8-Track are
slowly sliding towards their graves.

iTunes TV/film content will play on every TV, this is just an interface
question.

Vinyl doesn't seem to die nowadays, like it or not.

CDs are as valid as iTunes downloads, in fact offering better-quality
than iTunes (AAC) downloads, and you can rip the tracks to any format
you want. (AAC, MP3)
CD sales have been quite stable in 2011.
Anyway:
Good night, and thanks for the < free > Apple promotion...
