The shopping gene will never be eradicated from us humans, so a packaged
music format that you can buy at a store will always be around. It could
evolve into a completely different form than today's form, though.

Attitudes like "I see the CD as not only not dying, but it just might kill
DVDA and SACD!" are sadly self-hating and inappropriate for an audio
professional. There have always been and always will be music formats
available to satisfy the mass-market and high-end; radio vs. records,
cassette vs. CD, SA-CD vs. MP3, whatever, we as an industry must continue to
serve both ends.

DualDisc of some sort should be a solution (or better yet, some sort of
no-moving-parts audio carrier). One SKU for Wal-Mart and Target to carry,
nobody has to worry if their machine will play this disc, audiophiles and
early adopters can continue to drive technological development...
