Decline of cd sales

In recent months, I've read articles on decline of record sales. Can this mean the end of pre-recorded cds? Although the recent decline in cd sales, they're individuals that are still buying pre-recorded cds. Even though the download is taken over the convient way that music is obtained. I've noticed in the last year that 'big box stores', such as Wal-mart and Target, has had their cd isle shrunken. If I want a particular cd, I'll have to order online or download. Even online sites, such as amazon.co and cduniverse.com has redirected me to check their mp3 store, as the particular cd isn't available or out of print. It seems that even these web sites are pushing for the mp3 downloads. Either change with the times or go without. In past generarions, we've seen the lost of Lps, 45s, Reel-to-reels, cassette and 8-track tapes, and now it looks like the CD is heading in the same direction. It all depends on the general public.
