How many years before MP3 becomes king?

I was reading about one unit that plays CD's pretty decent, but also stores 300 hours of 128 bit music. It has every type input and output imaginable and could be the world's greatest jukebox.

Sound quality was compared to early CD's played on first generation CDP's. The author wouldn't predict how many years (months) it will take for enough bandwidth and other factors to happen for the MP3 to musically surpass even SACD and DVD-A.

I wasn't recommending the product, I was only imagining the time in the near future when CD's and LP's are going to be obsolete.

Like it or not, thousands of dollars worth of equipment is going to be obsolete by 2010, IMO.

I agree, Tomryan.

I only listen to a handful of artists regularly. For example, for the past month or so, I've alternated between Prince and Joss Stone. (And for those who haven't heard Joss, all I can say is do so immediately. Best voice I've ever heard and she's only 17 years old.)
