Well, what I meant was that the technology itself was from a certain standpoint the best mainstream consumer tech we got, and then it ironically got worse because of convenience and cost.

And another way of putting it: If Led Zeppelin tried to make an album today they'd suffer commercially if it sounded the way their LP's did when they came out. Not because of the technology, but because music in general, regardless of medium, is compressed and loudness maximized to all hell.

But I'm guessing you meant "music quality in general" and perhaps not CDs specifically....
