CDs won't last forever, no matter what some dipshits will say. There are cases of cds from the 80s and even 90s rotting. It seems that there can still be little tine airholes in the plastic that can lead to the eventual oxidation of the aluminum layer that holds the music info. Yet I have LPs from the 50s and 60s that are still fine. Also, hey, what if the cd does not exist someday (replaced, by, say, music downloads only?) I think there are enough analog fanatics to keep things going for a while, even if it's a small nitch group. Someone will most likely keep making cartridges (just as people still make tubes!), and if you get a heavy-duty enough turntable, it could last most of your lifetime.
