"For me, the LP is the format," Abrahamsson says. "There is no difference when it comes to CD or digital download. I think that ultimately all that's going to survive are vinyl and digital downloads." In other words, vinyl will appeal to audiophiles and DJs while everyone else will use digital downloads. The CD will, as Big Black noted, go the way of the eight-track.http://www.austin360.com/music/content/music/stories/2007/02/10cdformat.html
