First off, welcome to being old
I don't think mp3 players will go away. My ipod has become THE key device in road trips that take me through big chunks of rural Canada that have little to no cellphone service, never mind active wi-fi. Streaming anything? Forget it.
On the actual bigger issue at hand Jackhammer nails it, I can't really add much to his comment. I really like the bit about how the media and our peers would push particular albums, it's a situation where the expansion and widening of the target market reduces the potential for upward success. It's transforming from a pyramid to a pancake.
