True, but how many companies still press LPs? More than piano roll
manufacturers?
I did hear that there is at least 2 LP makers - though I wouldn't expect
the number to increase anytime soon.
Whereas CDs are still manufactured by.... no one (?)
Ditto floppy disks. (and crts).

Given the amount of time and money being sunk into higher storage
capacity mediums I'd expect to see blu-ray replaced within 5 years (if
not earlier).
I've still got rolls of Super8 - but it's no longer manufactured either.
