The eight-track, open reel, LP record, CD, etc., have all had their good
points and bad points as musical delivery media. In each of these, it was
not so much the perfection of design as the consumer trend that eliminated
them from the marketplace. As long as this trend favors online buying, then
it will continue to gain market share.

But I think both will coexist for a long time, online music and CD buying in
stores, etc. In my area of Atlanta, mall shopping is one of the favorite
recreational activities. And they're going into the CD and video stores in
person to buy them.
