That is a very narrow point of view of the market though.CD's are already lossey to begin with (compared to analog) which is why some find it preferable to roll the dice and find a good FLAC, or are tolerant of AAC. Worst case scenario you get CD quality with FLAC.
I literally cannot think of a practical benefit to physical CDs vs SS media.
128Gig of storage is the size of a fingernail now.It's quite possible that my town does not even have a legitimate "CD" store anymore.
In the very near future, you will see more new cars with 1/8" aux jacks then with CD players.It's cost and convenience, the same phenomenon that brought us 8-tracks, cassettes and CDs in the first place. DVD/ blueray was able to stay in the same footprint, but now it's not practical to make a machine with moving parts that holds more data.
Deprecation.
