Compact disc
Hi. I wanted to let you know why I reverted your addition to the Compact disc article. The sentence you changed says that ~"CD is being replaced or supplanted by..." (list of newer storage tech). The Sony tape technology you linked is certainly interesting (it's quite a leap from current data tape tech, which I believe maxes out at LTO-6 with 2.5 TB per cartridge). But per the CNN article it is not yet available as a product, it's merely under development. Since nobody can buy it, it is, at present, not replacing CDs or anything else. One might write that this new tape tech "might" or "will" help replace CDs in the future, but Wikipedia doesn't do that until it's happened; see WP:NOTCRYSTAL. You could put a mention of this tech in Magnetic tape data storage, but again, be careful to not give any predictions, only verifiable statements of what is happening now or has happened in the past. Thanks! Jeh (talk) 15:43, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
