Are CD players goig the way of the 8 track,and the cassette?

Right now I'm totally enjoying an EMI CD of the Puccini opera La Rondine.  Beautiful tone. Clear and distortion free -- issues that can be iffy in opera recordings, especially on vinyl.  Fine if not quite world class imaging. I fished the multi-CD album off the shelf.  Even on the classical streaming service Primephonic, complete opera recordings are not yet commonplace.  In other words, in my view it's not quite time to write off the silver discs.

No, CD will never be going away. How could it? Its Perfect Sound FOREVER!

Sometimes I walk to town. On other occasions, the car makes more sense. And there are times I might be found on a plane or a train.

Sometimes I stream. On other occasions, I spin a CD. And there are many days when I pull out a piece of vinyl and listen to a record.

I didn't stop walking when I first got my license.

Why should one format preclude the others?

So just how often do you use your 8-track, then?

No I do not think so.

Just like the CD was going to kill the LP.
