Obviously, especially over the past five years, CD players have gradually been going out of style. Few people don't own an MP3 player, and MP3s can be packed by the hundreds onto a $30 device that fits easily inside your pocket. With their increasing popularity, will they end up replacing CDs?

My feeling is that CDs will gradually become the next records. They will be the vintage way of playing music, but the trends will gradually shift towards electronic copies of media. However, at least for me, nothing can beat a classic CD of a great album held right in your hands. Thoughts?
