High-end home ent manufacturer Linn has announced it has taken the "dramatic decision" to stop making CD players.
Linn will cease production from the start of 2010 to focus on digital music streaming systems, sales of which have apparently outpaced those of CD players over the last year.
A real sign o' the times story, it seems this makes Linn the first manufacturer to make this landmark move.
Linn's MD, Gilad Tiefenbrun, says of the move: "Our customers have fast recognised the limitations of CD players and in the age of home networking, people now want better control of their music and the ability to enjoy it in any room of their home".
