I don't think vinyl will go away at this point. 5 years ago you might have convinced me.
Where sound quality is important, I think Vinyl will have a home. I expect it to grow and then level off - but at 5% or so of sales of music (not just a medium). Though the way people "buy" music is changing - it is going to get very hard to measure (Pandora, Spotify, MOG, etc.).
I think these services and MP3 are a bigger threat to radio (AM, FM, XM) than the market LP's play in - which is where convenience is less important and sound quality is important.
I'd expect high resolution files to grow, but I am not at all certain where it will end up - but I do not think it will replace, but complement LP's where sound quality is important.
IN any event - whether vinyl will die a long slow death, or become a preferred medium, or somewhere in between - it is becoming a very interesting world as far as audio goes!
