The end of physical media is neigh

New players and media are readily available for all of the dead - vinyl, cd and now bluray.  

What's dying is us.

I don’t see any cause for doom and gloom, tbh.

I doubt vinyl will go away, at least until all of us who grew up on it check out.  I stream most of the time because of convenience and the endless variety at your fingertips. For me, maybe not for you, streaming doesn’t bring the same relationship to the music. Plus, there is some satisfaction to be had in combing through old musty albums in an old musty, used vinyl store, and every once in a while, stumbling across a brilliant, decades old, maybe first release Recording that you can buy for a song and then invest some time in cleaning up. Doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s like cashing a trifecta ticket, makes you feel smart

of course, with every passing year, getting out of the chair to turn the album over every 20 minutes, becomes less attractive
