Face it, the era of disc-based music is coming to a close. Maybe it will be sooner, maybe it will be later, but it's clearly inevitable. Sure, maybe disc-based systems can survive (as vinyl has) among a fraction of a fraction of listeners, but as for the market in general, I just don't see disc-based playback continuing to be a factor, barring some miraculous development I'm not aware of. I even wonder whether downloads will survive - the future is streaming, and in many ways, it's already here. Check out Beyonce's latest album, "Lemonade" - exclusively available now on Tidal (and on iTunes only later on). Whether or not Beyonce means anything to you or me, she, by herself, represents a big chunk of the total music market, and I can't see this development (i.e., the exclusive release of a significant new album ONLY on a streaming service, at least for a while) as anything other than a confirmation of the decline in the market for physical discs.
