I don't think so. CD-ROMs with software is a big option still. And computer geeks are not necessarily audio geeks, but they sure ought to be the kind of guys that would download over buying a CD-ROM if ever there were the type.I live out in the county where the minimum high speed price is $60 per month plus $400 in equipment to put on my rooftop. All that just to be able to download songs into a hard drive? Not every music lover wants to go to this type of setup and will be wanting the old CD format. Some old music lovers don't even own a computer, amazingly enough. What happens to them? No one will meet their demand for music? I doubt it will be a complete obsolescence soon. Maybe in time, but not imminently. And, yes, nothing lasts forever. Although I would have thought the LP would have truly disappeared by 2007 when I was getting into high-end phono back in 1990 (when I discovered how bad my CD's really were in comparison at that time).
