Mebbe. That's a big IF. I hope we will see some action
soon but, more likely, there will be nothing until/unless
the HD players become common. By then, audio in a
physical medium will probably be gone.
I think you mean to say that it is audio all by itself in a physical media
that will be disappearing.
Audio with video still requires too much data to entirely practical as
downloaded-only. The sticking point of course being the video.
OTOH, I've had a fair amount of fun at times watching downloaded TV shows
from the CBS and NBC web sites. The video quality on some shows is probably
better than NTSC.
