CDs in my collection, that I've had since the 80s, still play and sound very well, but they have always been stored and handled with great care. I have had several CDRs go bad over the years, even though getting the same care and handling. I have LPs from the 60s, 70s and 80s that still sound great.
I too believe the industry is pushing to move us away from CDs and into streaming and downloads. I'm afraid that, like analogue LPs, CDs will become harder to find and and more expensive to buy. Being a hands on person and not having much interest in the download craze, I'm hoping that CDs, as well as the analogue comeback, will hang on for some time yet.
