Isn't it a little early to write off those two formats (especially DVD-A,
which has only just become available)? Few people would have been buying
CDs when they were first available in 1981. And, on the face of it, DVD-A
has a lot going for it -- reportedly better sound quality than CD, and a
whole new format for the record companies to sell to people whose record
collections are in CD format (many of them will already have "upgraded"
once from vinyl). I doubt that MD will have much effect either way, because
the pre-recorded MD market is so small.
