   That's the claim made by music site Side-Line which says it heard whispers that the end of the CD is nigh from music industry insiders.
   Eventually the format will become extinct.

   I doubt it. Cd would most probably replaced by DVD but even that hasn't happened completely yet. A Hard copy for backups is always required & as long there is market for VCD it won't go away.

   You can STILL purchase 3.5" Floppies AND floppy drives! You can't get 5.25" or larger anymore that I know about but almost nothing completely goes away! As long as there are products that use them, they'll be available but maybe not new ones.
