In the end, the majority of video and audio philes determines the fate of things like this for the masses.  That's why it will happen much like it happened last time.  It's already been decided.  It will only be slower due to the current recession.

...Buh?

Didn't videophiles support Betamax and audiophiles support Audio DVDs?

I've rippd all my CDs into mp3s long ago.

I guess you missed the "majority" part of that statement.  The majority of video/audio philes didn't decide on Betamax and audio DVDs.

I would say you are confusing video/audiophiles with consumers in general. MP3s were not picked as the dominant music medium by audiophiles, especially not in their original low quality incarnations.
