In the end people pick formats that meet their needs, which why the LP and
cassette tape effectively died as mainstream formats once portable digital
players became freely and reasonably inexpensively available.
Cassettes died because at a bit over 4" in diameter, CDs were viable as a
portable medium and car players for CDs were eminently viable. Of course, if
the CD in conjunction with the computer hadn't killed the cassette, the MP3
player also in conjunction with the computer certainly would have. LP? It's
still flourishing - and will likely be with us for many years to come.
