"There's no way the iPod will ever catch on after all a full DVD-A is 8.5GB which would take hours to download and you'd need a 1 Terabyte iPod just to hold enough music to keep the average user happy."
This is (essentially) the exact same argument that people are making against the possibility of downloadable movies. There are a lot of similarities between the SACD vs DVD-A (2 formats, no added convenience, quality beyond what most people care about, hardware upgrades needed to take advantage of improvement); MP3 won inspite of the fact that people initially spent hours downloading albums (56k isn't particularly fast), the quality is lower than CD (let alone DVD-A or SACD) and no extras came with the albums (no art or liner-notes).
