Let's not oversell this. The moment vinyl faced serious competition it
started losing market share.

(Devil's advocate mode on...) The same can be said about CDs.

In the 80s, it was losing out not only to
CD, but also to cassettes, for heaven's sake.

CDs are losing out to lossy mp3s.



Just another nail in the coffin of audio quality. With the hoi-polloi, it
looks as if convenience trumps quality every time.
